My friend is going to upgrade his K6-2 400 MHz system with AXP 2000+. He's trying to spend as less as possible. For mobo, he has 3 choices. Which one to pick?

ABIT NF7 v2.0 (nForce2 Ultra 400) -> $83
ASUS A7N8X-X (nForce2 Ultra400) -> $80
Chaintech 7NJL3 (nForce2 400) -> $60

Should he save money and go for Chaintech or buy the proven ABIT NF7 v2.0? I myself is very satisfied with ABIT NF7 v2.0, but I don't know anybody who used this Chaintech mobo.

These prices my local price, not US store price

BTW, he won't overclock. He needs a stable mobo which should work for 3-4 years.
