What mobo to buy?

Hi all,
I'm looking to upgrade my mobo and not sure what to buy. Any recommendations. I'm looking at the Asus A7V8X-E Deluxe, Asus A7V880 or maybe the Abit AN7. Now I'm not set with any of these, but is just what I'm looking at right now. My budget is not very much as well.

Thanks,
Chevy
 
looking for anything in particular?
the AN7 looks like a sweet board, and if I was going to buy a new Socket A board today, I'd probably look at that one.
 
No not really. I would like to get one that has the SATA, dual channel memory ( amount of memory doesn't matter), gigabit lan ( although not really sure what advantage I would get). I might O\C, but at the speeds of the chips these days I will most likely keep it at stock speed. also looking for aboard sound, lan, firewire and USB 2.0. I have read some favorable reviews on the Abit AN7, but hard to make up my mind.

One question I have is, if I go the dual channel memory way is the Abit picky about what memory can be used? Like I mean can you mix and match different brands of the same size?

Thanks,
Chevy
