Which motherboard

Hi all,

With OCuk's price drop on the Phenom 2's, I'm seriously tempted to grab a 940 and a new motherboard. Would appreciate any suggestions on a good board to run this on.

Currently have an Abit IP-35E, 4GB OCZ SLi, E2180@3GHz, and a 4670. I was hoping to get a quad to drop in, once the new prices come into effect, but some advice would be good in case I decide to jump ship to AMD.

Cheers
Daz

Am looking at this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-016-FC - anyone with experience of it?

Though seeing it for $160 in the US is a little annoying.

Possibly not mate - he wants a board for an AMD CPU, that's an intel one. It's a very good Intel one, but still no good for a Phenom.

Cheers - yeah the reply was nice, but would like a nice AMD board.

Still fairly undecided on dropping a quad into my existing setup, or going the AMD route. Going for AMD would at least be some new toys to play with, wheras dropping a quad in would be, well.... just that.
