Ever since the early reviews, I've liked the features of the MSI K8N Neo Platinum (especially the Gb-LAN it uses). But everyone who owns it seems to be using a beta BIOS, which is kinda hairy to me. Others report problems of Windows failing to boot w/ the SATA ports enabled.

Meanwhile, there are mobos out there that have been out for a while, like the K8T Neo FIS2R or Asus K8V SE Deluxe. My primary concern is stability. OCing is not a big concern, though if I can get like 10% w/o crashes, I'll take it.

What is considered the most reliable Athlon 64 mobo?

stability isn't an issue that much anymore on many boards.. i'd say just read a few reviews.
can't go wrong with Asus though.

You want stable with a 10% overclock get the ASRock K8S8X. Simply best of breed under your conditions.

I have the K8T Neo FIS2R and it's a very stable board.
If stability is you prime concern, then this board will fill the bill.
I can honestly say, that this may be the best mobo I've ever owned.
