Neither. Those are both VIA chipset boards. You want a board with an Intel chipset like the BX or 815E. Intel, Asus, Soyo, and MSI all make good Intel chipset boards.

Yes, either of the boards you posted will "work". But for best performance and stability, go with the Intel chipset when using an Intel cpu. They cost a few bucks more than a cheap VIA board, but you'll be glad you did.
