Need Motherboard Recommendation - Barton 3000+

[joburnet]

I am building a box that is going to be doing a lot of data processing and I would like to use the Barton 3000+ CPU because it has the 400Mhz FSB. Now I need a motherboard for it to run on and I would like it to be cheap, sub $70, and have integrated video, sound, and possibly ethernet. I don't care at all about video or sound quality. First I need to figure out what chipset to go with and then what specific motherboard.

My first pick without any research into it was the:

REFURBISHED: Gigabyte Socket A Motherboard for AMD Athlon? XP / Athlon? /Duron? Processor, Chipset VIA KT600, Model GA-7VT600 1394

which is only $45 at newegg. It doesn't have video but I can use a cheap video card if need be. It does need to be very stable, not worried about overclocking, and fast would be nice as well.

Any recommendations?

The Barton 3000+ has a 333Mhz FSB, the Barton 3200+ has the 400Mhz. I would go with the A7V8X-X deluxe by ASUS.

According to newegg.com they are selling a Barton 3000+ with a 400MHz FSB for $138 OEM. Link

So why would you choose the ASUS motherboard? ASUS usually has a lot of options thrown in there but they are usually more expensive?

Except the ASrock for $53, this is the best I could find at $77

UPDATE: nevermind. Just noticed that you were looking for IGP.

If a board without Integrated Video is better, stable and fast, then I will just get a cheap AGP graphics card.

So basically I would still like to hear your opinions.

Moblie Barton 2400 set vcore to stock barton (1.65) and 2300 Mhz which is 3400+ = $77
Shuttle MN31N = $80
