Finding a good non SLI motherboard

I'm trying to compile a list of parts because I'm looking at building a new system and am having trouble with finding a good motherboard. Currently I'm running a Asus nForce 2 board with a AMD 2700+ processor on it-- its going on 5 yrs old and I finally have money to retire it. The new system needs 3 PCI slots and I prefer not having SLI as I don't intend to use it. I would like to use the newest memory standard if possible-- if its an Intel board DD3, AMD DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500). I will probably put at least 2 GB in it, 4 GB preferred. Please post if there isn't a good reason to go with DDR2 1066 versus DDR2 800 because I'm more concerned about building a system that'll last a long time.

It was suggested on another thread to use a Biostar TF560 A+ however I'm not familiar with BIOSTAR, I've always gone with ABIT, ASUS or GIGABYTE but they seem too expensive with the better processors--especially Intel? I don't necessarily care about processor performance differences right now -- just price and motherboard layout. I will decide later depending on the motherboard to go with either be a Q6600 or a Phenom. I need at least 6 USB 2.0 , 3 PCI slots, 1 PCI-Express 16x slot, a LAN port, and DDR2 1066 or DDR3. I will always go with an nVidia card-- this time probably a BFG 8600GTS since its $149. This system won't necessarily be for gaming but rather media applications. If its prudent to wait for other motherboards being released, please say. Thanks for your help.
