40 euro or sth?

You didn't choose the 2160? 10 euro more expensive, but higher multiplier. A higher multiplier might come in handy on a fsb limited board like you.

Then again, the asrock pt880u goes up to 340fsb, that's 2.72Ghz for a 2140. Not too shabby if you can get it stable at that speed.

- edit -
do'h! You did choose for a 2160, i first read 2140

2160 is my choice too, over 3ghz, that's cool, you don't need high FSB for performance anyway
