By the looks of things that motherboard be at the limits of the cpu you are thinking of getting..

In the US the boards i suggested will be cheaper..

I highly recommend that you get a board that supports upto 400mhz fsb Athlon XP (as the one's i suggested)

Or: go for a: PCChips M848ALU (This supports 2xSDRAM and 2 x DDR Ram) and its around £20 including vat (which is about $34) and it supports upto 400mhz FSB..

the amount of money that board will cost u, u can pickup one that will support the best Athlon XP processor (3200+) for very VERY little extra..

Obviously it is your choice but i am trying to recommend this.. because in 1 - 3 years you should still be able to easily pickup Athlon XP CPU's (although mainly second hand).. worth while if u ask me..
