Need motherboard advice

*Sigh* Seeing as my topic in general isn't getting any attention, I'll just ask my main question here.

I'm going to build a cheap budget computer for my Grandpa (who doesn't game at all) and am planning on getting this motherboard for it paired with an Intel Celeron. I'm not so sure on the motherboard itself though, so wonder if anyone has any experiance with it or have any other suggestions for a socket 478 motherboard with integrated graphics and an AGP slot (for future upgrades).
 
If I was you, I would look for one with an 865G chipset, as it has integrated video, and is rock solid, as it is Intel based, so you won't have to worry about reliability. As far as the board maker goes, MSI is great. Though the chipset, SIS based, is definitely NOT the best choice. As I said, the 865G based board would be better.

If it was me, I would go with THIS ONE
