Which Motherboard for AMD 64?

I'm upgrading - this month's buy will be the new power supply.

However, next month's will be a new motherboard. Which one do you recommend? Here are my requirements:

Cost up to £100
Support AMD64 processor (I'll be getting of them the following month - just the normal one, 2800 - it it's available over here - or 3000 probably, not the FX model).
6 USB 2.0 ports pref. though at least 4
Gigabyte LAN
Support for SATA as well as IDE
Pref 3 memory slots
Not fussed which chipset, or what onboard video/sound.

That's about it I think.

Im running the Abit KV8 MAX 3, fantastic mobo, buy the time you upgrade the KV8 Pro will be out which should be even better :D

K8T800 is the chipset to go for ;)

I've used the ASUS one and it was very good - mine did have exploding Capacitors although they've sorted that now.

The fastest for gaming is ment to be the MSI one.

Is that a standard feature? :)

Don't really need it for games, just want a moosin' fast PC with 32 more bits than my colleagues :)

Think of the exploding caps as a undocumented feature lol
