Need help picking a mobo

[Pig Destroyer]

Im getting an 754 socket AMD 3700+ 64 bit CPU.
I was looking at a gigabyte GA-K8NNXP but it says 2xSATA (presuming thatit can only hold 2 drives that can use SATA) I would like to use SATA for the 2 DVD Drives and the 2 HDs ill be getting. Can anyone recommend a mobo? Prefferably an ASUS or Gigabyte.

Thx

sorry its not manufacturer you asked for but i like msi, because they answer my tech support quickly with random advice. also they make gud boards.

If you've got the cash to go with the 3700+, why not get a Socket 939? I wish I had. As for the SATA DVD drives, it's my understanding that they're just PATA drives with an internal converter. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
