    what features do you need?
    If you don't need integrated gfx then abit IP35 & Gigabyte P35 series are good as should be the Asus P5K

    MSI P55-GD80, i5 750
    abit A-S78H, Phenom 9750,

    I'd go with the abit IP-35, the one I used was very good. A near perfect layout and abits support is fantastic.

    Out of interest, Which G33 board did you have?

    I think I'm going to go for that IP-35, it's between that and the P5N for me. I've always gone with Asus in the past, but people seem to be recommending Abit a lot these days.

    if you don't need SLI or 4 PATA device support get a P35 board rather than a P5N-E.
