I have an AMD Thunderbird 1200 processor and would like opinions on the best motherboard to use.
Thanks

How much you want to spend?

Do you need extras like S-ATA, RAID, Firewire?

Do you have any parts you'd like to use? Specifically RAM.

If you only have SDRAM and you get [for example] a nice new Nforce2 board, you'll need new RAM too.

The end is nigh.. (For this post at least)

Yes, I have PC133 sdram and want to be able to use it. I had an Asus A7V133 but one of the Ram slots failed, and now the ATA/100 contoller failed. I'm looking for something more reliable.

I don't need RAID or Firewire. An integrated NIC and video would be nice as long as there was an AGP slot also.
I found an MSI K7TRBO2 for $73. I'm looking for specific recommendations. I'm finding lots of boards for socket A but most don't specify the processor range.

Buy MSI KT2 Combo-L. It's VIA KT266A based, can use both SDRAM and DDR RAM. Has onboard 10/100 LAN, but no integrated graphics. Costs $49 at newegg.
