I run an Abit fatal1ty an8 and it works great with my opteron 175 and bios 19. At the moment it's hard to come by and is expensive compared to other 939 mb's but it's your choice.

in your title you have a 175, but in your actual post you're talking about a 170. when i bought a 175, the difference in price was about 70+ USD.

as for recommendation, i personally went with an Asus A8N32. there are a few others that people speak highly of. one of them being the DFI Lan Party boards.

Pretty much any decent name brand 939 mobo should run any dual core x2 or opteron perfectly. It comes down to which mobo and features you want. I have an epox 9npa+ ultra. They work flawlessly on this board as well.
