Motherboard advice!

[imported_gwtomdonovan]

I have been out of the mix for some time now, and I haven't kept up with the latest and greatest. So I thought I would reach out to my fellow Techs out there. If price was no object what ATX form factor board would you get. Don't be shy, tell me what you really think. Help a brother out.

I'd agree.

With money as no obstruction, the Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe is indeed the motherboard i'd buy.

I don't agree. Asus A8N32-SLI is great board for 8 phase, but it still have problems:

- slower performance due to structures.
- bug in mem control like data corruption and you need to decrease memory from 400MHz to 333MHz for stability. Will someone sue Asus or AMD? Pay for 400Mhz and using only for 333. Nice !!!
