A few years ago I built my parents a machine - the motherboard was an Intel 810 with a coppermine 667. The motherboard didn't support the newer celeron core so it's registering as a Pentium III 667 - the performance is off.

Now that prices are so low for the older motherboards, I'd like to get one that supports the Celeron2 667, also needs to have onboard everything - want something with a decent onboard video (the 810 is choking at 8mb shared ram). Hopefully under $50 range. doesn't have to have onboard modem though since we've got a 3com on it now.

thanks

Check Newegg.com for motherboards using the PLE133T or SiS 630ET chipsets. They start at under $60, and feature integrated everything except modem. The good thing about these two chipsets is that they support the new Tualatin chips, meaning you have a future upgrade path to 1.4GHz in either P3 or Celeron flavors.
