I've got an old Athlon XP 2200 doing nothing and an old micro-ATX case
that I'd like to get together. I have no video card for it yet, and I'd
like to keep it cheap, but I'd also like to overclock it. Surfing
around I found this guy for a little over 60 bucks:

I dont know about anyone else here,but i have had only one glitch with this
board.I have contact MSI about the problems and we are still trying to
figure thisout.It has to do with the Reset switch and the front usb pin
outs,cant hook both up,or the computer restarts everytime you touch the case
or even insert a usb device in the front usb ports on ANY CASE,have tried it
on 4 cases already and getting the same results.

If you dont hook up the reset switch it runs great other then that. my specs

AMD ATHLON XP3200+
WINDOWS XP HOME SP2
MSI 6600GT AGP 128MB VID CARD
1GB OF DDR2700 MEMORY
2-WESTERN DIGITAL SATA 80GB HARDDRIVES
(SET IN A STRIPE RAID)
1-120GB ATA HARD DRIVE
SOUNDBLASTER AUDIGY 2 ZS
PVR- CAPTURE CARD
LITEON DVD+/- RW
LITEON DVD/CD-RW COMBO DRIVE
RAIDMAX SAMERIA GAMING CASE/420W POWER SUPPLY
LOGITECH Z560 SPEAKERS

Like i said,if you do not hook up the reset switch,it runs great.The only
other down fall is the memory only goes up to 333mhz,instead of the
400mhz(DDR3200)
