Spend a few extra bucks for this, its a nice step up

im afraid if its deffective that i will have a big hassle like last time with the other motherboard. Its only warranted by the manufacturer

Try this one (Asrock K7V88 refurb): http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813157033R
or this one (Asrock K7Upgrade-880): http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813157038

You get an awful lot of mobo for your money with Asrock. Limiting your choices to Chaintech (part of the PC Chips/ECS group) doesn't make sense, IMO. I've bought a handful of refurb mobos from newegg and they have all run perfectly but you do risk having to come up with your own I/O shield (if non-standard like many are these days). I usually have success getting one out of the mfr. even if I have to pay for it. All the rest is downloadable or commonly available. Or you can skip the savings and buy new...

Unfortunately it seems that all the mobos in this category that are worth having are "Warranted by Mfr Only". But you still have 30 day satisfaction guarantee with newegg on new ones and some coverage even on refurbs...
