You know this is really a tough question.  MBs come out so often, that 
I'd normally do research on the latest stuff before even answering.

Although it was a rough start, I've had good luck and been pleased with 
my current board, ECS Elitegroup k7s5a.  I've got an Athlon 1800 in 
here, but it will handle faster Athlon cpus as well.  It's rock solid 
now, but initially, I had some problems, part of which may have been 
self induced, but, I was able to overcome them.  The initial problem was 
that the box would lock up when playing games.  The solution was to 
build a custom kernel rather then go with the stock kernel that came 
with the Mandrake dist. I was using at the time.
