I think I'll be getting this motherboard for my new PC: GIGABYTE GA-M56S-S3. Do any of you know any better/value for money buys on motherboards?(AMD)

EDIT: I've found another AMD motherboard, I like.

M3A32-MVP Deluxe/WiFi-AP (http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=149&l3=591&l4=0&model=1930&modelmenu=1)

Views please.

I've neglected motherboard progression since I bought my Asus P5K Deluxe (Intel) a few months back and as I knew I was going to get an Intel processor, I've negelected AMD motherboards for a long time.

Pique, what do you want from the motherboard? Are you overclocking? You'll need one PCI x16 slot for the graphics card you're going to buy...but how many PCI slots do you require? One for your sound card...anything else?

As we continue to progress rapidly, my next motherboard (mid 2009 probably) will be a dual socket board which can take two processors. They're available now though quite expensive.

A new series of motherboards will be required for Intel's forthcoming Nehalem.
