I'm about to upgrade one of our pcs, looking at shoveing an AMD 2400xp, 180GB NDD 512Mb DDR ram and some other bits and bobs. As this is an upgrade I already have other bits such as a firewire card, lan etc, etc. I'm not sure which motherboard to get, I'm currently running an asus which is excellent but will not support the new processor. I'm after something with at least 4 usb ports (and cables and plugs etc), support for the processor, ram and an agp slot and I'd like it to be pretty current!

Anyone got any recommendations? oh and I don't really want to spend more than about £70 before VAT..

Thanks for that, they are recommending the Asus board which is nice but a little expensive.

I more or less know what to buy, I'm just keen to get some opinions, I have put a posting on the overclockers uk forum (a bit like someone coming on here and asking 'I'd like to buy a car but I have no idea what to get'. So I'm expecting the odd flame.

Any other suggestions?
