    Look for an ASUS, I have one and love it. But others will all have their own opinion. I say make sure you spend a bit more than you expected, and get a little more board, you can always upgrade a little later, but if you cheap out now, you will have to replace alot more parts later.

    well this depends, if u want to go with PCI-E and SLI ! get ASUS or DFI ! if ur looking for AGP go for Gigabyte, DFI, and probably Abit :)

    Latest Gen ASUS motherboards arent too good.
    Get an MSI Neo4 or a DFI LanParty.

    For more advice see forums.amd.com

    Yeah azianhawk is right the fans are loud and they dont work very well, they have the same features as the MSI Neo4-Platinum. Also ASUS's dont overclock well. If you buy an Asus its a bad move.
