Yea, the Conroe would be a better choice. But if your an AMD man, the 64 FX-62 is currently their top cpu.

It is, but compared to the Core 2 Duo's price/performance, theres no reason to go that route unless you already have an AMD motherboard.

That is true. But i was saying that if you were a deticated AMD fan : ).

TO actually answer your question...
I have an ASUS A8N5X MOBO, which seems to be a very good board to me (although I will admit my knowledge base is less than many of the posters here). ASUS is known for making high quality compnents, especially in the higher end stuff. A8N Line http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...tion=a8n&Submit=ENE&N=0&Ntk=all&Go.x=0&Go.y=0
The M2N line seesm to be a main line of ASUS's AM2 entries http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...89&Submit=ENE&Manufactory=1315&SubCategory=22
In either case, you can probably fid a good MOBO for <$150.
Whichever socket you decide, choose a board that fits your budget and has the features you want.

You can get the X2 4800+ on Newegg for around $285 now, or you can get an E6600 for $335, which will perform alot better.

I would definitely consider the Conroe unless you are presently tied to an AMD system. If you are then the X2 should be fine, but the Conroe would be the better deal if you're starting from scratch.
