you would have a better setup with a SiS 748 based motherboard.....i have used the sis, via and amd based setups with a 2500 barton and a 3000 barton and the sis 748 out performed them all by far....extremely stable....

Like so many queries posted on AT and most any other hardware site, there almost never is one "best" of anything technologically. There are many "good" MB's for an AMD XP 3000. I have the basic A7N8X, the dash-X model, with a 3000, and I'm very happy with it. If you have a long history of past preference for Via, however, why not look at something a lot newer, since the Via 400's (it seems to me) were really stopgaps that missed the mark in many ways.

I bought this motherboard for a friend and it worked great:

Asrock KT600

It has the KT600 chipset. If you looking for on-board video, I would suggest this one:

MSI NForce2

The most popular recent SocketA with on-board video is this one:

Asrock SIS741GX

The MSI K7N2 Delta2 is a pretty nice board I am currently using it

NForce 2 is the way to go. I'd pick up an Asus A7N8X. This what I have in one of my kid's computers. The other two have Chaintech KT-600s. The NForce chip set is much better. Plus it runs dual channel RAM.
