As an AMD user myself, I can only say that I have never been disappointed with an Asus motherboard, and your original suggestion seems in the right price range.

Can also vouch for Asus mobos. Pretty well made, good features. I find them more reliable over longer periods then Abit, MSI, etc.
As for the Intel/AMD thing......it isn't surprising as there probably aren't many people here who use Intel due to the nature of these forums: People ask for advice for their new system, get told to buy AMD and they do. Ergo, not many Intel-heads about.
But then, theres no smoke without fire

Thanks for all your replys.
I will probably end up going ahead with that motherboard that I originally chose, unless someone has a better idea.
I think most people on here are inclined to use AMD as its sort of "the gamers choice", over intel, however intel is probably going to be the "server admins choice".
But obviously i'm not looking for a high end spec server, or a gaming system, just hardware advise.
Thanks again, I think i'll be actually buying this system this week.
I am sorry to interrupt. Anyone has using DFI PT880 socket 478 mobo? I want to buy it for my old northwood system. Is it a good overclocker or in other word is it has SRC/AGP/PCI frequency lock?
