using epox, very happy with it. Basically Asus and Abit are the big names. However you will pay a huge amount of money just for those names, while there are lots of other brands that are just as good but not as expensive. Best is to check out some reviews on hardware sites (www.anandtech.com www.tomshardware.com www.hardocp.com www.ocworkbench.com www.amdzone.com to name a few) before you buy anything.
