I bought a FIC VA-503+. From reading the forums here, I guess it doesn't have the best reputation, kind of tempermental. I bought it because it had 4 simm slots and 2 SDRAM slots plus it will take AMD k6-2 cpus as well as my old Intel 233MMX. That way I could upgrade the memory and cpu at different times. Otherwise, if you just wanted a cheap mobo w/o upgrade potential, you could look for an old 430 hx,vx,tx board that has simm slots on it.

EDIT I just rechecked the manual, the 503+ does not support nonMMX Intel cpus. Sorry.
