Which Motherboard to buy?

I'm building a cheap system for a family member and wondering which Mobo was best.
I looking for one with intergrated audio and video for a Celeron cpu socket 370.
 
Well you're pretty much restricted to two chipsets; the i810 and i815, as well as their respective enhanced i81XE models.
I would heartily reccomend the i815 over the i810 for the simple fact that it:
a) Has an AGP slot, giving an easy video upgrade path
b) Has 133MHz FSB support, which while not necessary for the Celeron, gives you much more upgrade potential.
If you get an i815 board, I would reccomend either the Asus CUSL2 (i815) or the Asus CUSL2E (i815E).
If you're only doing a low end system, the 815 (non-E) should be fine.
Hope this helps.
 
The Via apollo pro 133 chipset is not bad to, i've never had any problems with my asus p3v4x motherboard.
