***   1.  Abit TX5 (because of Tom's Hardware Guide recommendation) at
$139;
    2.  ASUS TX97-VV (because of on board sound and video) at $239;
    3.  Iwill P55xb2 (becasuse of a PC Club recommendation) at $119.

Any thoughts or suggestions (and warnings).****

        I am currently running a couple of systems with an AMD K6-233 on
an Amptron 9600 MB which is very inexpensive (around $76). So far these
boards have given no problems.  As long as you are no planning to OC it,
I could recommend these for an inexpensive system.
