Help with motherboard choice

[Zenobia]

I'm working with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ (still think Phenoms need more time) and can't decide between these motherboards. Is there an obvious best choice? Thanks!

I can't prove the stuff on theinquirer.net but they have rumors that some Nvidia chipsets were recalled because they were defective. The 790FX chipset is apparently better than the 780G. So, I might be thinking about the MSI but I prefer googling "name of motherboard" + "review" before buying.

I took a chance with the last Asus motherboard I bought because I really couldn't find reviews for it (M3A78-EM which I think is only sold in Canada anyway). The only problem I had was the RAM was set to 200MHz in the BIOS which gave me a speed of 400MHz instead of 800MHz (so I set it to 400MHz).

This however did cause me to swap out all kinds of parts wondering what the problem was. It was a lot of work only to find a little problem.

I don't have time to investigate that motherboard but I like the fact it has a heatpipe.
