I'll second the GigaByte motherboard. They're also very
inexpensive, compared to Asus and Tyan, even though they're based upon
the 440BX chipset. You can get the 6BXD for under US$170 (yes, this is
a dual-CPU board!), and the 6BXDS (the 6BXD with on-board F/W SCSI) can
be had for under US$300. I'm using the 6BXDS, and I'm happy with it
(especially since I got it for around US$235, before the prices went
up). The only "problem" is that the 6BXDS doesn't support LVD SCSI,
just plain F/W (which is probably why it's inexpensive -- the Gigabyte
dual CPU board with LVD SCSI costs around US$430, which is comparable to
those of Asus and Tyan).
