Question for all you mobo freaks out there, I was informed that a neighbor of mine was moving and throwing out anything that he felt would only take up space in his car, one of the items happened to be an unused N2U400-A nForce 2 mobo, so naturally I did a little dumpster diving and brought it home.
From what I have read, the mobo is "ok" and not much to be excited about. My question to you guys and gals is would it be worth it to add some worthy components to this board and see what she has? or just throw it back from where it came from? Thanks all.

I would say it depends on what you will be using the computer for. If you will be building a high performance gaming rig, I would get a new one, but if its for someone who will be doing basic tasks and computing, it should be fine. I would recomend throwing in an Athlon XP, 2 x 512 MB of DDR400 184 pin RAM, an ATA/133 hard disk (no support for SATA), a GeForce 6200 256 MB AGP, a couple of PCI extras if you need them. and the C-Media CMI9739A 6-channel audio CODEC. If you do something like that, you will have a pretty good setup.
