out of the 2, i would choose the PcChips i think. I've never heard of the other brand, but i know PcChips mobo's usually run just fine stock.

$50 on a mobo is a bit low though, its not going to be lightning fast as you probably already know.

I have 2 of them for sale if you are interested. Both less then 50$, less then 40$ in that matter, i think my price was 28$ and 35$, one supports DDR RAM and the other SDRAM, thats the major differerence, both socket A and will work with that CPU.

My sugestion is to buy one me ovbiusly lol.Besides that prabally the PC chips I would say.

Yep, defionatley the 2nd one. Chipset is miles better, more stable. Also, i have had bad experiences with PcChips......

And dont forget that its cheaper, always a bonus!!!!!!!!!
