I'm looking to build another system and Newegg has a nice selection of open box mobos. I thinking about getting a PII 720 and wondered which of these would compliment it the best. I will be doing a little bit of evrything with this system(nothing real intensive though).

each 1 saves about $30 being open box-I got an open box MSI KA780 with everything included in the box..
 
1) I've never used the Biostar. Lots of folks say good things about them.
2) I have a JHA04-LF. It was an awful overclocker for my 710, hitting only 210HTT; the NB multiplier didn't do anything at all, and the NB frequency seemed to be the limiting factor for me. Works great at up to 265HTT with a BE-2300, though, since the NB multiplier doesn't really apply to the Athlon X2s. Your CPU should have an unlocked multi, so I'm not sure how this board would stand with that. Solid board with a nice layout and a great feature set, though...
3) I'd really like an AOD790GX, myself. This would be my pick.
4) Not sure about the MSI, either. I like the layout and PWM cooling, though...
