Just got a 3320EE and I'm wondering which mainboard would be ideal for this CPU

Not sure at the moment what will be it's "final destination" but in the meanwhile I want to use it to test ESXi/HyperV/Xen and some storage/controller performance and of course a lot of power consumption tests, since it's a 25W quad core opteron!
Maybe at the end it will be my Plex Home Theatre htpc..

What do you think about the Gigabyte 970A-UD3P?

Haven't had any experience with that board in particular, but I am a big fan of Gigabyte. I would say it would be hard to go wrong with that one.

The only thing I don't like it that your chip isn't listed on their CPU support page, but I have seen them miss AMD chips before. Might be worth an email to be sure though.
