My advice is buy a mainboard from a reputable mainboard maufacturer...
Sonic is not a reputable mainboard maufacturer.
I could'nt even find there website in a quick google around.
I would recomend Asus or gigabyte from personal experience.
This said MSI, Abit, and a few others also make good boards.
Compatability is dependent on the chipsets used...
Via, Intel, amd, nvidia chipsets are well supported. I would stay away from SIS.
They are supported but fall into the cheap and chearfull category.
I hope this help...

Thanks Blueworm. that helps alot. is there a specific chip set you would recommend or should i pretty much go name brand?
thanks.
thanks.
It really depends if you going to go amd or intel...
As far as intel goes I really have'nt got a clue never owned 1.
Althou the intel chipsets are said to be better...(probably by intel!)
As far as amd goes if you are an advanced user...
I would recommend the nforce2 chipset by nvidia.
Otherwise stick to Via kt400 or kt600.
