Asus A8R-MVP or Epox EP-9NPA+ Ultra ?

[SIB]

I'm looking for a cheap motherboard to go with my new AMD64 4000+ CPU and ATI X1800XT graphics cards.
I see these boards are going pretty cheap in the clearence section and wondered which would be the better option for me . I have to stress that stability is far more important than insane overclocking !! . I won't be using crossfire so that's not really an issue but the board seems pretty cheap for the money

Thanks for any help / advice

I have the Epox but there's a few things I dont like about it.
-Overvolting by 0.1v (multimeter required to find this out)
-Position of 24pin slot (large cables obstruct cooler and make the case generally untidy)
-CMOS jumper positioning- you have to remove the graphics card to reset the CMOS.
-Chipset fan- this is very noise and mine has just broken after 6 months.

I bought a EP-9NPA+ Ultra the other week from B grade to go with my shiny new A64 3700 still waiting for a new graphics card to get it all running be warned though with B grade you wont get anything but the actual mainboard no backplate no manual no addon ports mine also come with dust and a bent capacitor so be warned
