Will be building a system hopefully in a few months, going with the AMD64X2, what's a good brand of boards to be looking at?? I want it to be extremely reliable, I've been looking at some, seems ASUS is the most expensive. Are they really one of the better ones or are they just that much more than others? Any help would be great, thanks much!
 
wats your budget? do you plan to OC?
another good company other than ASUS is DFI. they make excellent boards and thier great for OC'ing. and sometimes their a little cheaper than ASUS.
 
ASUS and DFI are both reliable brands, but you really shouldn't choose a board based only on the brand. Some ASUS boards are great, some are overpriced, and some are reasonably poor.

The Asus A8R-MVP seems to be favoured by many people, but it really depends on your budget
