Budget P4 board with Usb2? - Suggestions plz?

[MadAd]

Are all the usb2 boards so new that they have not dropped in price yet? I find low priced budget 478's but with only usb 1.1, the only usb2 boards come in at mid-market prices.

What would be your reccomendation for something reliable? Thanks for any help/advice.

If you post what you consider a budget price, then we'd have some point of reference for suggestions.

This MB can be purchased at NewEgg for $89 + $6 for shipping.

The Albatron at NewEgg

This seems to be one of the cheapest P4 boards at NewEgg. Good luck finding a board. Peace.

aha!! ty - I read the review at the time but didnt realise the Albatron was so competitivly priced - I didnt see it to begin, however Ive found it in one of our retail channels here - £53 plus tax is just what I needed, has usb2, onboard sound and its available

(I didnt mention a price, since usb2 was essential, the term 'budget' was reffering to the type of board, rather than an actual price range)

All I need to check now is that theres no problems fitting one of these cheapie 1.7gig S478 celerons into it

Thanks for the pointer JSSheridan

I know it's not a budget board, but the Epox 4G4A+ is great. You do get what you pay for.
