Hmm welcome to the AMD world
The present motherboards in the pink are the nForce 2 motherboards with dual channel memory access and 400FSB. Motherboards with these chipsets go for around $150, but the cheapest and best is the Abit NF7-S. Comes with SATA raid and LAN onboard.
As for the CPU, don't get a XP2400. Get a guaranteed 1700 Tbred B core from an online E-tailer, as these chips can hit 2.4Ghz with good air cooling. That's the biggest bonus of AMD - Cheap as chips and perform as well as any P4 3Ghz.

1700 dlt3 here http://www.excaliberpc.com/product_...=1962&osCsid=6938220e76147cdc5a50b50a8d522d4c
Great chip to OC to over 2 ghz for 73 bucks is a great deal. Throw in a epox rda+ mobo for 83 bucks and its still cheaper then a P4 2.4 alone
1700dlt3 = 73.00
RDA+ = 83.00
Total= 156 + tax/shipping

Mine is running at 2300Mhz on water, but it's a crappy setup eheh. I can run windows at 2400Mhz, but when doing 3Dmark it crashes back to the desktop. I'm letting it run a bit for now, hopefully i'll get more in the near future!
