if you aren't overclocking go gigabyte. they are notorious for loading their boards (superfluously) with options. they don't overclock well (according to AT), but if that isn't a big deal, or you only wanna overclock 100 - 150mhz then i'd go with that. otherwise, asus makes a mean VIA chipset mobo.

go with the soltek. its gotten very good reviews and the only problem seems to be you can't overclock it above 250 fsb but some people have been able to do it. most people will tell you that the msi neo 2 platinum is the best board, but the soltek is equal to and even beats the msi in the benchmarks. most people on this forum are into overclockering and since the msi is the best overclocker, it gets a lot of votes.

Been checking out the reviews on the msi neo 2 platinum and this bad boy seems to be the king of the hill.

I just bought that CPU with a MSI Neo2-F. It shipped today from Newegg.com. I can't wait!!
