no, don't get an nforce2 board for someone, ignore the last three posts, you'll be responsible for it and you sure don't want that person to run into any trouble with their computer, the nforce2 chipset isn't for the inexperienced tweaker (anyone who doesn't build), too many problems with bios death etc., i suggest going with a SiS735 like the ECS K7S5A, a KT333/KT400 like the Epox 8K3A or 8K9A board that provide stability, they are all well below the 100 dollar mark, just pick up a cheap video card for them like a radeon7000 or geforce2MX, either that or you can go with a KM266 motherboard which has integrated graphics
if you really do decide on an nforce2, don't get an ASUS, ever, they're the worst with dead boards
