I am considering the purchase of the above mobo with an AMD Athlon64 3200+ proc and 1G of memory for $210. They are used - 3 months old. I think this is a good deal but would appreciate your opinion. Thanks.

Motherboard seems ok.

Unless you know the person your buying these 2nd hand parts from and can be 100% sure that they work i personally wouldnt buy them but if they do work go for it as that price seems ok

Also remeber that youll need to get a PCI Express Graphics card for this board as it doesnt accept AGP and doesnt have built in graphics

Studio Comp: AMD Athlon XP 3200+ OC ~ 2.35GHz runs at 40 celcius idle and 48 under stress (aerocool GT1000 really works!), Asrock K7VT4A , 1024MB Dual Channel DDR 400, MSI Nvidia FX5200 128MB OC ~ 600MHz mem 350MHz core,80GB SATA + 200GB SATA + 120GB IDE, 7.1 Channel Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum EX sound and midi interface. 19" Sony SDM-HS95 TFT monitor - sweeet
