They don't have that same MoBo anymore so I wrote this for ya. While shoping for a Mobo, a few things to look at are front bus speed (FBS), USB speed, SATA speed and also what you want the MoBo for and what you want to do with it. The Front bus speed is basically the speed at which your computer parts communicate with each other. Most MoBo's now a days have a FBS of 2600 which is what you want. They used to be all 1000 and a few still have that speed but you want to STAY AWAY FROM that speed. Some newer MoBo's are going toward a high FBS than 2600 but the price is rarely worth it right now. The USB and SATA speeds are really just a prefence right now, because not all parts (but close) are compatible with USB 3.0 and SATA 6.0 not to mention that most people don't even notice a huge difference in transfer speeds, which to me really isn't worth it for the prices. Here is a link to www.newegg.com and is a list for all Biostar MoBo's http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007625%2050001442&IsNodeId=1&name=Biostar
If you'r okay with a micro ATX (form factor/size of the board) then I would look at the fourth one down BIOSTAR A75MG. It has USB 3.0 and SATA 6.0 and it's only $49.
I've used biostar many many times but on my last computer I built I thought Id try the newest, biggest, baddest motherboards from ASRock. I made a mistake. The first one was DOA, the second lasted about a week and the third they sent me lasted just over two weeks. Not only is their products sorely disappointing but their RMA process is extremely painful. But not biostar. They have a kick ass warranty and they also have a program that if you send them any biostar MoBo weather you originally purchased it or not and they'll fix it (refurbish) and send it back for $40. Never again will I stray from the beauty that is Biostar.
If you've never used newegg, I would suggest getting used to it. They have great prices and they also have the customer reviews that you do want to look at.

I hope you found this helpful. Cheers
