Default Motherboard for new AMD machine

I am going to be building a really cheap budget machine so the wife has something to get on the internet with while I am on my main machine and it will also be used for Folding of course .

Anyways this is the CPU that I am getting..
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819104237

I need a suggestion on a good cheap but reliable Mobo for this thing.

Thanks in Advance
Strider

One hell of an OCer as well if you get the urge.

Edit: Nevermind,wrong socket type. I thought the Sempron was 939

Edit2: Have you considered the above board and this processor? This combo would be a lot faster...

They do have sempron 939's I believe however I am wanting the other socket because this is an extreme budget machine for folding and internet use ONLY so there is no need to spend 100 bucks more on the CPU for a different socket...

I hear ya, just giving you another combo. It ends up being $19.99 more on the processor, but it leaves you the possibility of having another gaming rig for some LAN. If this is seriously ONLY for internet use, I'd get a motherboard with integrated video.

You should get this http://www.pcprogress.com/product.as...4%2D2800%2BBOX instead of the Amd sempron..
