Anything with an nForce2 chipset.

Epox 8RDA3+ would be my choice. I have an 8RDA+, which is just an "older" version of the 3+. It's a great board.

I've heard the DFI LanParty is a decent one as well.

www.newegg.com would have the best prices on those boards.

Couple one of those boards with a Barton core 2500+, overclock it to 2.2GHz, and you'll have a screaming machine.

I'm an Asus fan. I used to run an AMD Athlon XP off of a Gigabit motherboard. It was okay I guess - never any big problems with it. But I really love my Asus.
