I like the layout of the Abit board, but the Asus board has better performance and lower CPU temps. Also consider the Gigabyte board. And if you do go with Abit, consider the IC7 instead of the IC7-G if you don't need the added features. Same goes for Asus and Gigabyte, don't pay $70 more for features you don't need.
