    I just got an ASUS M2N-E, nice middle of the road board, only one PCI x16 slot as I plan to upgrade later when the dust settles after the conroe launch.

    Ive only had it running for 2 days, but im really happy with it so far. I dont do any overclocking (yet), so i cant help you there, but as a standard board it has lots of the nice usual ASUS features and the passive heat pipe does a good job at keeping noise down while temps are normal.

    It has plenty of room for SATA HDDs and all the usual. on board sound works really well too, i had my reservations about this as ive only ever used creative cards before.

    I dont know what else to say really, it hasnt crashed or blown up yet, works really well with the 2GB of corsair XMS2 i got, so if ur looking for a nice board, id say ASUS, although i have no basis for comparison except with all the Dells ive owned, but we all know they dont count :rolleyes:

    asus usually do good boards, ive had a few in the past.. but dont know about the am2 boards, i suppose googling for reviews would be the best way to go about it
