What’s The Best Socket939 Motherboard?


I’ve decided that the only upgrade I’m going to do over Christmas in preparation is upgrade my Asus A8R-MVP motherboard, which has been a pretty big disappointment from almost day one.

I’m just about to start my research, but I thought I’d see if anybody can recommend a Socket 939 Motherboard for me.  It needs to easy to overclock as this will be only be my second motherboard.  In terms of hardware it needs to accomodate the following:

  • X1900 XT i.e. needs a dual PCI bay
  • AMD 4200+ CPU
  • 4 SATAII HDDs
  • 1 IDE HDD
  • 4 GB Ram
  • 2 PCI Cards
  • Min 4 USB2 slots on mobo itself and connector 2 more on case front panel
  • Gigabit LAN built-in

I don’t need a crossfire mobo as I have no intention of buying a second graphics card.  It would be nice if I could have a spare PCI or PCIx1 bay or two though.
What do you reckon?
