Well, I just fried my KT3 Ultra ARU 
Its not the latest and greatest but it was pretty stable.. so heres the dilemma I'm in.. going to buy a new motherboard either new or used from the FS/T forums.. but I need some help. I don't want to spend money on a new processor, however I would like the abilitiy to use an Athlon XP in the future, currently I have a 1GHz Thunderbird chip that is overclocked to 1.4GHz, and it does everything I need it to do. I have no doubts that my future will hold a new Athlon XP.. probably within a few months, so I'd like to find a decent board to fill both of these requirements. Now I used to be all about the different chipsets and such, but ever since this board (KT333) I haven't read much. So what is your suggestion? I don't need onboard anything.. RAID might be nice but its not neccisary, and the same goes for SATA. USB 2.0 however is neccisary. Also have to be able to overclock with it What do you guys suggest? I'm looking in the $60-$80 price range.
Edit: I'm leaning towards an nforce 2 board...
