Whats a good P45 motherboard?

[vouslavous]

I've been debating which P45 to go with. I don't know which brand to go with (MSI, Asus, Biostar,Etc).
Have anyone got any issues with some of these companys such as quality of there products. Which company do you suggest.

Gigabyte has the best quality. Biostar is the current overclock record holder. MSI is the cheapest, while offering good performance.

Does Biostar have good quality? Whats the average lifespan of a motherboard?

No idea. P45 is still very new. Biostar is unknown brand before they broke the oc record, so very few people use their earlier chipset boards.

I recently built a small dental office server around the GA-EP45-DS3R ($140 @ newegg). Had absolutely no problems with any of the parts I used, although, it was all mostly main stream (e8400, OCZ ram, cheap nVidia gfx, 4 500gb HDs, highpoint raid controller).

Can't report on OC capabilities, but the system has been running solid 24/7 for a few weeks now.
