Hi. I'm upgrading my dad's computer to an Athlon system for him, and I've been looking on newegg for mobos under $90. I'll be buying something that will not be overclocked, and there's no need for fancy-pants add-ons like RAID, integrated ethernet, etc. All that I'm interested in is a solid board that won't crap out for a number of years, as well as a reputable brand name that will provide good support and warranty service should the need ever arise. In all likelihood, this board will be used with the same processor and memory until its last dying days, when *everything* will be upgraded, all at the same time. That is, I'm not looking for anything that'll be able to handle whatever the next big thing will be.
As it is, I'm considering either the EPoX EP-8K3AE, the Abit KX7-333, or the MSI KT3 Ultra2(6380E-050). Are there any notable differences between these boards? Or should I just go with the EPoX simply because it's slightly cheaper than the other two? Are there any other boards that come highly recommended that I should consider?
Thanks for the input.

I guess that's why I didn't see it when I was browsing through their selection.
