If you had good luck with abit, I would stick with them. Also, newegg has a soyo 865pe board free after rebate. You only pay for shipping.

Yuck on the Soyo and MSI.
Your best choices would be Abit IC7-G, Asus P4C800E-Deluxe or for a budget get an Abit IS7 or Asus P4P800.
The Soyo and MSI are okay, but you'll want to OC that chip (no really, you're gonna want to) and hands down the Asus or Abit are the best choices. Solid if you don't OC and solid if you do.
