Hello. Well I would either go for a Gigabyte or MSI board.

Avoid Gigabyte.many user report problems setting up Gigabyte boards of all types.

Grab a S478 motherboard from Abit, MSI, DFI or Asus

Asus. Stable, reliable, well equiped.
Maybe not hte best overclockers mobo, but it will be a work horse.

I don't think there is a brand with a worse reputation for quirkiness than Gigabyte.

For Socket 478, with stability and ease of setup being the weighted factors, in the given order:

Asus
MSI
Abit

For silky smooth overclocking -- Abit

I can vouch for that, the p4p800 is a supurb board

I recomend the asus p4p800 or p4c800 there VERY relieable and there quite fast.
