Its difficult to say if the mobo is good for the price as you have'nt said how much its costing you.

The PII 720 is a good cpu especially if you overclock it. I believe that mobo is good enough for your needs.

my cousin is selling me this mobo for 4000 pesos or about 80 US$ and it's really cheap compared to the one's sold in the shops here in the philippines. good to know its good for the processor, how bout for crossfiring? i have two palit hd4870 1gb and im planning to crossfire it. im having second thought with this mobo on crossfire mode, i dun want to waste the money i spent for the gcards hekhek

They make good products. As of lately, Biostar has been producing very good overclocking motherboards.
It should suit your needs.
