On looking at motherboards, I thought the Asus A7N8X was probably a good bet, but I think someone on this list has some problems with it.
Well, I was going to suggest Intel system boards but I don't know if they work with AMD processors.
I got bit by the bad cap issue that plagued Abit and others for a while. After that - and waiting 8 weeks for a replacement board from Abit - I swore off using anything other than Intel boards. Best part is replacements for bad boards are shipped overnight from Intel. Nice feature set on the boards as well.
I went through about 4 months of hell trying to get a couple of ASUS boards to work. Kept sending them back and getting new ones. Then I heard from others than ASUS has really bad quality control and if you send a board back, they'll just turn it around and ship it to some other ..... sucker. In any event, I will never, ever buy another ASUS board.
