Looking for a good Socket 939 motherboard

I'm looking to upgrade to an Athlon 64 CPU sometime soon, and I'm thinking about which motherboard to get. I'm dumping Epox, they've got issues with their BIOS clocks. I thought it was just me, but my cousin's Epox (different model too) does the same thing. The clock runs fast in the BIOS. So after some time, my PC says it's 3:45pm when it's really 3:15pm. Junk.

Soltek seems to be a promising new name in motherboards, so I was thinking about going with them. Any other suggestions are welcome. ASUS is fine, but tend to be priced higher than other boards. And for what exactly? Other boards function just as well in my experience, and support isn't that great either. For the record, Epox has probably the best support for a motherboard I've ever experienced, very quick turnaround, and an online support ticket system.

Thanks.
 
AGP, right? I've seen the Epoxes (EP-9NDA3J and EP-9NDA3+) recommended a lot here, but some other good options would include the MSI K8N Neo Platinum, Asus A8V, and maybe that new Soltek SL-K8TPro-939.
 
I'm about to end up having wasted my $150 that I put down for my A8V. Mind you, I have a 1.4 rev, and it is nothing but trouble. Asus will not even give me support. I will never buy asus again. I'd say a giabyte, which is what I'll prob be getting from newegg or mwave soon.
