actually, ddr is great. rambus is dieing out. rollier0401, several companies make great boards. i like the gigabyte GA-8INXP ( http://www.giga-byte.com/products/8inxp.htm ). but abit, asus, soyo and shuttle make great boards, too. check out http://www.tomshardware.com/ you will find nice review on that site for several motherboards.

here's a direct link to a review he did on 7 boards:

I have a Soyo mobo and I love it. easily overclockable, performs well, no problems in the six months or so I've had it. mines an amd model, but I'm srure they have one that'll fit your needs.

i'm using the soyo dragon plus right now. it's a great board. never had any problems with it.

Intel 7205 'Granite Bay' Dual Cahnnel DDR chipset.
Asus has a nice one.
