personally i would wait a few weeks till the boards with the new southbrige (the b2 version has the usb bug fixed)
but the tyan tiger mpx is a great board, i also like the asus a7m266-d

if you want some overclocking features you need to look at the MSI board (cant remember the model number)
also iwill and abit both have dual athlon boards about to be released, from what i understand both will have overclocking features

Tyan Tiger MPX S2466N-4M (model with fixed USB)

I'm also looking forward to the Iwill MPX2.

There just doesn't seem to much of a choice of motherboards for the Athlon MP processor. I'm getting discouraged.

Go with the TYAN S2466N-4M. It has the newest chip that fixed the USB bug. I have done a few of these and they all work great. You can even save a few bucks and stick with the older S2460.

MSI has a new dual board with good reviews, but haven't tried it yet. TYAN hasn't done anything wrong so there is know reason to switch.
