Recommendations for an AMD AthlonXP 2000+ Motherboard?

Does anyone have any suggestions for a motherboard for my old AMD AthlonXP 2000+ CPU? Small Form Factor is a must as its going under the telly.

Onboard sound if possible, an AGP socket and two slots for 1GB of memory.

Its currently in my old setup on an awful MSI board.

Get yourself a Biostar 210V SFF Rig. They are about £90 and for that you get everything bar the RAM, HDD and CPU. Excellent value. The IR port even works with MCE.

I had a Biostar 210N at one point, had everything onboard including GF4MX GFX.

The 200N had the NForce 2 chipset and is the best socket A SFF for media PCs, but it's not available anymore and the 210V is by far the best compromise for the money.

using froogle i found one 200N for around £150, would be a good choice if you could get one

If you're not overclocking then just about any Socket A mATX board will have everything you need (support your CPU, onboard sound, AGP slot, 2 memory slots, etc).

Check the Clearance motherboards on OcUK for a bargain although no doubt you'll not be quick enough to read this so someone else will buy what is on there.
