I have a hobby...building computers. although I stay behind of just what is the latest and greatest I do this because of cost. I am looking to find a motherboard that will fit a amd 4200+ socket am2 cpu. Right now I have an abit an8 fatal1ty which I love but it's a socket 939. above all Building is an expression of art not need or function(although I want it to function at it's top)so I need a stable and astecially pleasing motherboard. something on the order of what I have now because it is a beautiful board. thanks

"astecially pleasing motherboard"
That's gotta be a 1st. I don't think I've ever read a post where the look of the board was a priority...lol! The board posted by Sabertooth may be "pretty" but I doubt the price is pleasing.
Honestly, there's little performance difference between S939 & AM2. The A64 didn't benefit much going to DDR2.
