No recommendation, Matt, but a warning since I know you are nearby. The local MicroCenter stores have been selling the Biostar A68I-E350 Deluxe at a *very* attractive price. I bought one for another purpose and ran latency-test on it for grins. See the results I posted in the latency-test table on the Wiki. Based on the numbers I got, I'd avoid this board.
