Looking for suggestions on a socket AM2 or AM2+ Gigabyte motherboard. My price limit is $70 for a board with no onboard video and $90 for a motherboard with onboard video.

I am going to use my system for older video games, record keeping and internet so I don't care about having a state of the art video card. I don't care if the motherboard is AM2+ socket or not since I don't plan on getting a Phenom processor with this motherboard. I am likely going to also buy the Athlon Dual-Core 4400+ Brisbane processor.

So far I am looking at the GIGABYTE GA-M61PME-S2 motherboard. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128333

Any suggestions?
