I use Biostar M7VQK Pro boards on my folding farm. At the moment I have five working 24/7 at 97% utilization. No probs at all with any of them. They are micro atx boards with onboard ethernet, sound, and video. They sell new, not refurbished, at newegg for about $45. They use pc2100. I have used kingston valueram and crucial with no probs on either.
