New I talked to him today
he says if there are no issues with the AMD chip, and it is cheaper, to go with that. As long as it runs XP and the modern software. If he is running old DOS stuff, like commercial games, it may not work? He says he will only be running modern stuff.

Any suggestions for a good motherboard? I used Abit for my own system the Windows 2000 Server. The KT7 board, that is. But I assume there is a newer version of this board?

New I've had good luck with Asus.
Even my wife's HP Pavilion PC uses an Asus (with HP BIOS).

New I'll try Asus
I had good luck with At based Asus motherboards before. I'll see if Newegg has a sale on them? I think that they do!

What else? [link|http://customs.affordablecomputers.com/|[link|http://customs.affordablecomputers.com/|http://customs.affo...mputers.com/]] seems to only show Intel, feh!

The above gives you an idea of motherbords and costs for Athlons.
