HIGHLY recommend Asus....
MSI is my 2nd best choice.
3rd would be ECS boards...
Gigabyte I have had terrible luck with and actually benchmarked slower then Asus boards. :-)
Either way, you should get a rocking board for next to nothing. Got a Socket 478 with SATA and 8x agp for $46
If you buy recent stuff, it shouldnt be much of a problem if it is going to work or not. Put one together and see how far it takes you. Have fun with it. :-)
