Everyone knows DFI Lanparty Ulta D is hands down, flat out, THE best 939 mobo--for PCI-E.

I do like my Asrock 939 Dual Sata2. It is the best for AGP, and it has PCI-E too. Half the price of the DFI to boot.
 
Stick with the K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI from MSI, best our company has used in years. The ASUS A8N32 SLI Deluxe would't be a bad choice either. We have 36 machines in our head-to-head gaming room and all perform perfectly with the MSI board. I wouldn't waste my time on ECS, Asrock, or Chaintech if you want real performance.

The latest is the Asrock 939 Dual Sata2. Dual is for the M2 socket card for future CPU support. It is the talk of most of the performance fourms right now, and for good reason, some people have it to 400 HTT. At 200 HTT, it should be stable as a rock.
