Currently I'm running a MSI Neo2 Platinum, MSI 9800pro, Aspire 520watt power supply, NEC DVD/CD Burner, Toshiba CD/DVD-ROM, Venice 3000 processor, Audigy 2 ZS, Sony Floppy Drive, a Maxtor Diamond Max 10 200gb SATA150 w/ 16mb Cache, and 4x512 GeIL Ultra DDR500 all in a Centurion 5 Case. I'm a pretty heavy gamer and figure its time to upgrade my video card, since i play games like BF2, and figured i shouldn't waste my money on another AGP card. So I'm gonna upgrade to PCI Express and was wonderin what a real nice motherboard would be. Plus, I'd like one that would handle my 4x512 sticks at dual channel with 2t timings at DDR400 pretty good. My Neo2 i thought could do it since the memory controller on my venice allows for it, but i was wrong! I picked out a few. Tell me what yall think and would go with!

You might wanna say what motherboard it is intead of just giving a bunch of links..most people don't wanna click on all the links just to see what choices you have. Like this for example for the first motherboard: MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum

The memory controler is on the CPU with an A64, so it's your cpu thats going to affect how well you can run 4 sticks of ram, rather than the motherboard.

 
Some of my top picks would be:
Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe
Asus A8N-SLI Premium
DFI LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum
 
I have the ASUS A8N-E & love it. I chose this board over the A8N-SLI because I use ATI cards & won't need the SLI features.

I've had very good luck with ASUS boards & this one was relatively inexpensive. It supports the latest chips right off the shelf with the current BIOS.

ASUS A8N-E
 
Yeah, im between the asus and the msi. Finally got everything fixed on my computer with the ram, turned out i needed to install some drivers. But i still got to upgrade to PCI Express, agp just isn't happen no more. Its hard to find good, well priced cards for my neo2 agp anymore.
