Too bad you didn't ask a couple weeks ago, Compgeeks had the Epox BX3 for $35, a darned near perfect board. Got one myself! Almost any Intel BX chipset board is good, unless built by PC-Chips (and brands that use PC-Chips boards, such as Alton, Pine, Commate, etc.).

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

a BX based board is the best one, but it has a PIIX4 southbridge that supports only ATA/33, you need to have a external ATA/100 controller to use faster had drives. it also lacks AGP4X support.

fastest (but also the slowest) you can get is some real cheap 810 based boards that have both slot and socket, dubbed as Dual boards.

Anyway, Asus P2B-F is the best you can get pretty easily, P3B-F better but rare.
