ASrock is in the lead with no surprise, Its more Bang for the Buck.

Sure you can get a better board, if you want to pay thru the nose.

I voted Abit, but I've had very good luck with Asus, AsRock, Albatron, Aopen, and Chaintech as well.
MSI blows, Gigabyte's not too bad, though.
Don't know about Foxconn and DFI. Haven't run an Intel chip since a SuperMicro Dual PIII 500.

Hey Caffeinejunkie, I think my DualSatII would match you DFI if I had your ram. What Mem divider are u using and what mem timings?
My crappy ram goes south at 410 mhz.

You are the first 3Gig 3700 I've seen, Nice System

(Only, had mine up 2.9 gig)

Besides one Asus board i've owned the only other board i haven't had problems with is my current ASRock.

Had a MSI fry after a year, and my old tyan tiger S2460 never worked right from the get-go.

Definitely Asrock: they're cheap, innovative and have proper support.

I'd have to go with the DFI but I really like them all.
I currently have:
DFI - NF4 Ultra-D (10X290) and NF2 Ultra-B (10x250).
Abit - AN7 (10x245).
Epox - 9NDA3+ (10x285) and
ASRock - 939Dual-SATA2 (11x244).
I'm hoping that an OCZ DDR Booster will let me oc the ASRock a bit higher then perhaps it will be my favorite.

I've been using the Asrock for a year and wasn't able to overclock my DC opty very well and have just purchased a DFI, but haven't got it installed to see how it works, just got it yesterday.

Not everyone goes for overclocking. It is just for the fun but you end up with lots of instabilitiies.
