Well, the one I originally posted was indeed an nForce2 motherboard, but I don't know the maker of it. My current board is an (older) Abit, and I don't think I'd go with them again. To many compatibility and reliability issues. But I've also hears good things about Epox, MSI, Gigabyte, and several other brands in addition to the ones you mentioned. Interestingly, I read numerous glowing reviews of my motherboard (Abit KT7A-RAID) online before I bought it. The problems that cropped up over time (mentioned all over the Internet now) did not make themselves apparent immediately. As I understand it, going with the nForce2 means saying goodbye to the VIA chipset, which can only be a good thing from what I've read...
