Lower-End Board

[schuy1]

Hello all, I was curious if anyone had ideas on what is a stable,mature,and decently featured board for a athlonxp, I build pc's, but most of my time is spent on high end equipment, and this is a first for someone to ask me for a "budget" gaming computer, Im looking for a board to accomadate a
XP2600
512mb geil ram
Nvida 6600 (agp)
I had looked at the Giga-byte GA7N400L http://www.giga-byte.com/MotherBoard/Products/Products_GA-7N400-L.htm
I had a nForce2 board once upon a time and was quite impressed with it, but Im not sure if theres something "better" for the xp chips.
Thanks for any input

The Abit NF7-S2 is generally seen as one of the best boards out there.
The Asus A7V880 is the most mature solution but is has a VIA chipset which some people don't like.

I concur with the NF7-S, although if your customer is not using a SATA Hard Drive, the NF7 v2 is just as good.
