I already have an Asus KV8 Deluxe that does not work.
Want to try another brand.

I will be using it with Corsair XMS 1GB (512x2) PC3200 RAM
and A64 3200+, SATA HD, SB Audigy 2 ZS, Antec True Power 380w

Recomendations?

I ordered a chaintech zenith but haven't gotten it in yet so I can't tell you if it's good. It's got a huge bundle of stuff and the benchmarks I saw it scored 1st or 2nd every time (it was between 2 nforce and a via I think or 2 via and an nforce can't remember).

I bought the AOpen AK86-L. This is for a completely new rig. A few parts are still enroute. I'll post results when the new rig's up and running.

The same here, but I think I won't have it in my hands in 2 weeks :(

I decided to go with a board with the via chipset as it usually outperforms the nforce3.
So I ordered an MSI NEO FIS2R. Seems to have a good set of features and at a fairly low price, $126 @ newegg.com.
The boards that seemed to be equal or better where in the $155+ range.

I'm waiting for the second revision of the KV8-Max3 from Abit. If Abit fixes a few bugs and the OC problem in the next version, that's going to be enough reason for me to upgrade :)
