What can I get for $150 (socket 478 motherboard and ram)
I'm building a cheapy web-browsing computer for my mom. I have lots of parts already and all that is left to get is the motherboard and memory. I'd like the mobo & ram to cost less than $115 together
My requirements so far:
- Socket 478 motherboard with usb 2.0
- Motherboard preferably of a major or fairly major brand name like Asus, Abit, ECS, MSI (want a decent quality mobo)
- Support for a celeron 2.2ghz (400fsb)
- 512mb PC3200~ ram (or whatever speed's best for this cpu/motherboard)
any suggestions on the motherboard? Thats my biggest unknown really... The rest is easy from there. Thanks in advance for your help.

i changed from and AMD based system to intel. found a celeron 2.2 "lying around"
