For a "stripper" board, there's a lot to like that AOpen has done. For 90 bucks US retail, you get all the essentials to get you into a socket 754 setup, and even some bonuses along the lines of SilentTEK/BIOS. If you are going to go in cheap, this way you get in with a manufacturer who has a history for quality motherboards. Just make sure to stick to the older BIOS revisions if you plan to use two memory modules. Otherwise, you stand to lose speed and control.
