Honest suggestion
I suggest you to give another motherboard company a try besides Asus, Abit and Intel.ECS PX1 LGA 775 Motherboard,I may have really liked this board.I see now that why those guys tend to stick with it,it help me a lot on photo editing,with its North Bridge Intel P965 Express,I really enjoy a lot in extreme gaming.As far as I know,it does that matter what socket processor you will be using,and a recent deal price for it is very low,only $140,here is a link about this motherboard,maybe you want to look up:

whats wrong with ECS
I think everyone here will agree that it is impossible to point at one brand and model of motherboard and say, this is the best. Every brand and model has something a little different. Some things might be good for one person and some things for another.
It all breaks down to what you want to do with it and the options you need.
Some brands are more reliable than others, I personally do not like Asus boards because of the problems some of their boards have with different types of ram. But other people love them because they are so over clockable.
I like Gigabytes boards. But there are many good companys out there.
I have had good luck with biostar, Abit, Gigabyte, Asus, and Foxconn. But I tend to buy mostly Gigabyte.

oopps. Your right. I will be getting an Intel. Well to be exact, I will be getting the Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Conroe 3.0GHz
So you need a socket 775. Do you need SLI, firewire, or anything special?
lovely?

a few might disagree, but currently the Q6600 is a better processor to get
No, not that I am aware of.
I would like a few of pci slots, a pci-e slot. The more slots the better for adding stuf live tv tuner and such and for future upgrades.
I will be using the computer for 50% gaming and 40% photo editing (photoshop) and 10% school work.
