Your best bet is to find something used because it is hard to find a decent 478 motherboard. I have 2 478 chips that I have pretty much given up on because the only board I can find is a Biostar. Not that Biostar is a bad company or anything but I want a good company's mobo lol

Just in case anyone ever wants that kind of mobo, I can recommend IS7-E from ABIT. Never failed me and has great features.
The boards a bit rubbish, but its cheap.
Has 2xDDR1 2xDDR2 AGP and PCI-E
Limited to roughly 300mhz FSB I'm told, mine stuck at 245 but possibly due to rubbish RAM.
The Board and a 2140 will cost less than a 478 board and blow it out the water.
Not an ideal upgrade, but cheap for incremental upgrading.
I'm getting better RAM soon and a PCI-E card some time in the future.

Do these motherboards have guaranteed Core support, or are you required to flash the BIOS with a Prescott-based chip?
