I plan on switching to Intel soon. I've already decided on getting an E8400 and now I need to pick a motherboard. I want to use my old RAM (DDR2 800), so I need that to work. Price isn't too big of a worry, just nothing outrageous. I want the best board, for a reasonable price. Let's hear some suggestions.

Having owned both a p5k and a ga-ep35, I have to go with the Gigabyte. I liked my Asus, but after 6 months it died on me. I've had my Gigabyte for almost a year now and it works great. Link. Just so you know it only has 1 pci-e so if you want to crossfire or sli you will need something more expensive.
