$50 Athlon boards

Viz,

As long as he doesn't want to do any tweaking and doesn't care if he has a reset switch, HDD LED and only one serial port, they'll be fine. It is ASUS, but the OEM versions of these are very stripped down. I have several Intel flavored OEM ASUS's and basically the only thing they let you do is plug in the chip.

like Russ said, so long as he doesn't have the urge to tweak anything, it should be fine. i have an Intel motherboard in my dell, and it doesn't let you change a thing, not even the ram latencies(they are CAS2 pc-100 running CAS3) but hey, the computer works perfectly 😉
 
for me asus has always been pretty good.
( i have 11 of their mbs right now
and most are running at 150mhz in p3bf's)

i dont know about that model but i have had
very good luck with overclocking
even older asus mb's
but the oem ones really do limit things
