Which is better? NForce1 or KM400?

[optimistic]

I'm looking for a decent performing budget Socket A board to pair up with a Throughbred XP1900 chip and Crucial PC2100 memory.

The nforce 1 board is $64 and the KM400 board is $69.

Which of the two would give me better performance? How about onboard video performance? I assume the nforce1 board doesn't have usb2.0 while the newer KM400 does.

Or should I save up and put out for a nforce2 board? Keep in mind though I will be using my current memory, but will be willing to make the jump if the peformance gains is worth it.

I would save up for the nForce 2. MSI has a pretty nice board for $99.

If you don't want to spend that much, I'd go with the KM400. I built a system in the Asus A7N266-VM once and really liked the board, but I think it's getting a little antiquated now.
