[Adagilson Batista Bispo da Silva <adagilson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I bought it to edit digital images (nikon 5200), capture movies from my 
camcorder (canon zr-85) and play newer games like fifa 05/06 -- it 
coincided with the "dead" of my sisters-in-law's box (pcchips 810, duron 
800).

Personally, I prefer MSI, Gigabyte or Abit instead Asus, pc chips, ECS, 
etc. As I found a Gigabyte model (K8VM800M) with video and sound chipset 
on-board (it also has an AGP slot, of course) at my city with a good 
price, I didn't exitate and bought it:
i) it is cheaper than celeron

ii) the chipset inside is from VIA (I think it's better than SiS and not 
so expensive as nVidia)

iii) it has compatibility with my elected processor, AMD Sempron 2800+, 
1.6GHz, with 256Kb Cache L2, stepping E6 (OPN BX, this means you are 
sure that you have 64-bit activated resources), etc.

...you can compare it with another Sempron processors:
http://www.amdcompare.com/us-en/desktop/
...or you can see benchmarks
http://www.amd.com/br-pt/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_11599_11605,00.html

iv) it is on the list "recommended motherboards" to sempron from AMD's 
website:

http://www2.amd.com/br-pt/recmobo/ResultsHandler/1,,30_182_869_11521%5E11522~89290,00.html

v) you can compare it with another motherboards to socket 754 at:
http://www.dealtime.com
http://www.tigerdirect.com
...or even with via chipset-based motheboards. There you can choice your 
motherboard -- they will tell you how much slots the mobos have.

Slackware 10.1 supports it: it is just working fine, video, sound, 
everything.
SuSE is nomore running well.
I will follow the advises of  Felix Miata and Hans du Plooy.
