I am lost on what kind of motherboard I should get for a celeron 2.6ghz. It doesn't need to overclock, doesn't need to be superfast, but should be stable. Since it's a crap celeron I would prefer it to be on the cheap side. If anyone has any recommendations it would be appreciated.

Here is what I've been looking at.
ASUS SiS 651 Chipset Motherboard for Intel Socket 478 CPU, Model "P4S533-MX" -RETAIL


I am really not sure what chipset I should be looking for. Whether it's an intel or other brand. If it's intel should I go for 845, 865, 875 is too expensive and not really worth it.

Anyone with any insight can help, thanks.

The integrated GPU is pretty unnecessary. He also plans on putting 1GB of ram in it himself.

Well you linked to a MB with onboard video and the 64MB of RAM I was referring to is dedicated memory built into the MB for the integrated GPU.

I'm just looking for a sub 100 motherboard. That was what I figured would be good, onboard video I can disable. The 64mb of integrated video would be good, but a seprate card will be used. I would actually prefer no onboard video, so if you can recommend one like that it would be great.
