normally it would not be the motherboad as much as the northbridge that would count. And any decent northbridge would handle low latencies. that is not to say there isn't a difference in speed between northbridges.

But now with the FXs things are a bit different, the CPU itself has the memory controller instead of the northbridge. So the nortbringde while still being important has much less to do with memory in this case.

i haven't looked that much latelly at FXs since i'm waiting for them to go down in price before I get one. So i'm not sure what northbridge is considered absolute best nowadays. but i think both the nforce3 and the via should work just fine.

as far as mobo brands my fav is MSI. but there are other good brands like Asus or Abit.
