Recommendation Needed: Which MOBO

[Guest]

I've recently 'inherited' a pair of Pentium 4 chips and I want to buy a
motherboard to build a system.
Can someone recommend a stable mobo of any make to plunk one of these chips
in?
Here's the specs on the chips: P4/1.70hz/256/400/1.75/sl59x
I've been told that this is a Willamette chip and MSI no longer makes MOBO
this will run on. Are there any ASUS models?

Many thanks.

Select:

Intel Pentium 4
P4-1.7 GHz (Socket478, 400FSB, L2 cache 256KB)

There is a long list.
