another vote for the p4p800. Gigabyte boards are good too. It's just personal preference that I stick with ASUS.

i just looooooooove asus and abit ..
but it is just cause they have the years-long reputation of having longtime and hard tests on their mobo's before bringing them out..also for oc'ers they r quite forward ;)
That's also why they are a bit costly , and that's why i love AMD! hahaha ...guess it's just personal feeling that make us tend to buy those brands :)

I just did a build with an MSI board that I am very happy with.
