I'm looking at building a new computer. Anyone have suggetions on the motherboard brand. I'll probably be using the computer for some work(webpages and graphics), internet and email usuage, a little bit of gaming. I don't want to spend to much but i don't want to go cheap either. For the CPU I plan on using AMD. I was looking at Fry's with there combo packages but most of those are ECS motherboards and not to many people care for them.
Asus.
there are pictures, but no,nothing happens on my site.
Asus is the brand I trust as well...
I usually look for them online from ZipZoomFly.com or NewEgg.com.

NOT Gigabyte.
While I've have been frankly surprised at the performance of and configurability of my Gigabyte motherboard... after a recent motherboard failure (last week), I've been overly un-impressed with their customer support and policies.
A month turnaround time is excessive, especially when I'm willing to pay for it to be overnighted.
In fact, in terms of productivity lost, it's almost cheaper to just buy a new motherboard than to deal with their RMA policies...

DFI ans ASUS... Thought I had some really bad RMA with Asus, I luv their mobo's
Though ECS are cheap, They are rock stable and I never had a ECS mobo crap out on me... They are a little crappy with their connectors, design of their mobo but they are good too
Decided to go with the ASUS A8R-MVP. Now which AMD CPU should I get?
I would go with the AMD 64 X2's... You can probally get a skt 939 opteron such as a opteron 165 and really overclock...
