Mobo/PS recommendation requested

[supabeast]

For the past two years I have been running a KT3 Ultra 2 mainboard. Unfortunately I recently upgraded my CPU to a Barton 3000 and the mainboard simply won't stay stable at the correct bus speed no matter what I do, so I have decided to upgrade to a new mobo. I need a recommendation from someone who knows about mainboards about what mobo to buy. I would also like to replace the power supply as well as this one is getting a little long in the tooth. I'm not planning to do any overclocking here, as the only game I play anymore is WoW, so this stuff doesn't need to be really nice.

The hardware that will be going onto this mobo:
AMD Athlon XP+ Barton 3000
2 x 512 megs of PC 2700 RAM
1 ATI Radeon 9700 Pro (AGP)
Some old Netgear PCI ethernet card
Sound Blaster Live! Value, assuming that I can't get better sound off the built-in mobo.

Thoughts?

No sense spending a lot on a new motherboard for a dying platform:

ECS KT600-A, KT600 + VT8237, 266/333/400MHz FSB, ATA/133 + SATA, USB2.0, up to XP3200 - $38.00 shipped

Or, if you have an aversion to ECS products, Foxconn has one with all the same features for $1.00 more:

Foxconn 600A01-6LRS, KT600 + VT8237, 266/333/400MHz FSB, ATA/133 + SATA, USB2.0, up to XP3200 - $39.00 shipped

Or, if you would like to stay with MSI...

MSI KT6V-LSR, KT600 + VT8237 - $49.00 shipped

MSI K7N2 Delta2-LSR, nForce2 Ultra 400 - $55.00 shipped

Or, if you want an upgrade path to AMD64, ASRock has an interesting solution:

ASRock K7Upgrade-880, KT880 + VT8237, same features with proprietary high speed slot for Socket 754 K8T800 Bridge Card - $43.00 shipped

Stay away from a KT-600/400. The KT-880 is OK, but the nForce2 chipset is still KING for socket A. Buy an Asus A7N8X.
