Mobo Recommendations Please

[chuck232]

Well, again after much thought... I've narrowed my choices down to 3...(argh....) So, here they are:

ABIT IT7 MAX
ASUS P4B533-E
GigaByte GA-8IEXP

So, which one do y'all think is the best? (wish I could post a poll :frown: )

Thanks!!

P.S. <b>Crashman:</b> I'm gonna take your recommendation and get a P4S533, but not for this system. I'm gonna be building 2 .

I'd wait until you can get an IT7 MAX2! It comes with Serial ATA!

Yeah, but when's that gonna be? I'm gonna really have to order before October.

It'll probably be available in September. That's just a guess, but since Abit has officially announced it, it should be available soon.

Yeah, it looks good as it has PS/2 ports(kinda negating the "legacy-free" terming..) so I won't have to buy a new keyboard. But if I'm not able to get that, what would you suggest?
