Best bet my friend is that you go head over to newegg. Get some more monies and get this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813135082.
This board and its ati counter-part work very well though the ati version is faster.It has a limited time offer with a 512MB DDR400 ram which is not bad for 80 bucks. Mind you this has an onboard Geforce 6100 includes an AMD Athlon 754 processor thats probably the very overclockable venice version. Best bang for your buck here since your on a budget. Also comes with a 20 bucks mail in rebate. On top of that AMD 754 processors are faster then its intel 478 socket counterpart believe me from experience. Both discontinued sockets go for it!
