Not to flame but Soyo's gone under and their boards may not be supported down the line. It is otherwise a good deal but bear in mind that if your mobo flakes out then you may be stuck with a dead one.

Also, read reviews before buying a Soyo board. Many of their Dragon2 boards will not work with Radeon 9x00 cards. (learned that the hard way)

I got in on the P4 Soyo Dragon 1.0 deal ($15 after rebate). It runs fine with my x800. On the other had, a friend has the MSI 875P based board and has had no end of compatibility issues with it and his x800. I go through Mboards (from every manufacturer) every 1-2 years (guess I am an aggresive user), so I am not too concerned about longevity. So far I am very impressed with the Soyo product (large capacitors, lots of room to work with it, stable for running for days on end). My $.02.
