I'm restricted to the following mobos;

GIGABYTE K8NS ULTRA-939 SKT939
ASUS A8V-DELUXE SKT939
ABIT AV8 SKT939
If I'm lucky.. I might be able to get MSI Neo2 platinum.. but not definite thing.

Most forum posts are from those who have problems.. so it reallydoesnt tell me which mobo is good. Any recommendation from the actual owners would be welcome.

In case it helps, I'll be getting following components;

AMD ATHLON64 3200+ 64-BIT CPU SOCKET939
GeIL 2x 512MB 1024MB DDR400 Dual Channel Kit (or 2x523MB CORSAIR TWNIX Kit)
ANTEC 480W POWER SUPPLY
ZALMAN CNPS7000B-ALCU **
EVGA 6800GT AGP VIDEO CARD W/256MB DDR RAM **
WESTERN DIGITAL 36GB 10,000 RPM SERIALATA HARD DRIVE (RAPTOR)
WESTERN DIGITAL 200GB Serial ATA

Thanks in advance. :)

buy whichever one has your ram on the compatibility list. they are all three reputable manufacturers, and i'm sure all three of their tech supports suck equally. if i were going to go agp, i would just get a dfi lanparty ut for 109 at newegg, and get a socket 754 3400+ for dirt cheap (225 at newegg, 2.4 ghz proc, might get it for cheaper at another site)

that way you will know you have a good solid board which supports most memory :). if you must go 939, get an nforce4 board. nforce3 is a gimp chipset. nforce 4 has upgradability.
