What would anyone say is the best AM2 motherboard?

[please, no Amd bashing, this is a question about am2 motherboards.. not comparisons. ]

Apart from it being two years old and not AM2+?

It sort of depends a bit on whether you need lots of pci slots and things. If you can get by with a MicroATX form then I quite like the ASUS A8N-VM CSM. It's got a dynamic auto-overclock of a sort, it's stable, I like the website and the way Asus get things right so often.

I'm quite taken with the <Link hidden. Register for free to see this link!>. I'm tempted to think I might actually use the triple VGA support and it's advertised at least as an overclocker's wet dream.
