Id look for a board with either a g31 or g33 chipset .

Gigabyte or Asus preferably

The 945 and 965 are a generation or two older and are not good value even if they are cheap

Spend the $15 extra and get Gigabyte or Asus... It's worth it

I've been using Gigabyte boards for personal use and in PCs built for friends / colleagues for a few years now - never a problem. Unlike my experience with Asrock.

Asus P5KPL-CM is a decent baord for a budget. And it allows a 240FSB real easy, so you can OC to 3.0.
