My brother and I are building someone a new system. One of the possibilities is an AM2 system. We would not get a Phenom CPU or any AM2+ CPU, just a regular AM2 4000 X2 Brisbane. For future proofing, would an AM2+ board be wise? The negatives are it's a new chipset and brand new boards... it may be wise just to get a regular battle tested AM2 board.

is what I'm looking at. Besides the "new" risk, does anyone see anything standing out that could pose a problem? Anyone have any experience with first gen AMD and/or Asus motherboards? Any input is appreciated!
