A motherboard can't be faster than a processor, they're different things.... :P
As for the features you're looking for, do you mean PCIe 1x or PCIe 16x slots? The former is doable, the latter is impossible, as you'd need a board so large to accomodate them it wouldn't fit in most cases.

All motherboards today have decent gigabit LAN, some not very good boards have integrated graphics, but it's rarely any good, you will want to stick with a PCIe 16x slot graphics card. Were you thinking of using a sound card? Onboard sound is good these days, and failing that, you can get a USB sound card like I did.

Onboard sound is good I've never had a usb sound card. But I don't think I will have space for that because I have a lot of usb plugs for the ports. So what type of motherboard do you prefer with at least 3xPCI

I don't even know if such a thing exists with two PCIe 16x slots - are you using dual graphics?
With one PCIe 16x slot I'd go with a Gigabyte P45 board, they have ample USB ports, with a backplate included to use even more.

Integrated HDMI is irrelevant, that board doesn't have onboard graphics, and realistically, you don't want integrated graphics.
Cheaper Asus boards don't last, they work for a while, then randomly seem to break, I've owned three that have done just that, and others are famous for it.

Just because your motherboard can sdupport a 64-bit processor and may have one installed doesn't mean it is running a 64-bit operating system.

Faster for some things, but a lot less compatible. Stick with 32-bit XP, it's fine.

So I would go vga to dvi to hdmi. Does that mean I will still need both Video and Audio Splitters.
