GeForce 3 Ti200 (i can get it for 100$ :) )

and a bunch of other crap...

I would stay away from motherboards from ECS, Houston or any non-major name brand.

Asus, Gigabyte, A-Bit and MSI are all good names in motherboards.

Hey you did know that the fsb is not really 400 rt, its really 100fsb over 4 pipelines

Oh and yes The Asus is a good choice, also look @ Abit, Both companies have good overclocking capability, i mean if you need it ;)

Drop the Gforce 3 ti200, you can get a ATI 8500 Retail for like 150 which blows the ti400 away let along the ti200 (g3) also image quality is alot better....i was a former nvidianite and ATI has really gotten there act together and this is an impressive card.

From my experience GIGABYTE boards are very good, as are Spacewalker ones, Spacewalker particularly for benchmarks. But then I have an Athlon XP not a P4.

Asus boards also very shiny too, I think u will be fine with that one.
