I've got two a7n8x deluxe motherboards, both are great. One is an ultra 400 and the other is the ultra 333.
However one of the main problems i've seen is memory incompatability, it seems the motherboard is finicky when you don't have compatible ram and it so happens that there is a lot of incompatible ram.

I've got two sets of ram, the kingston hyper X PC3200, running just fine and another set. I forget the brand name, but they would only work stable at 266mhz rather than 400mhz, however since it's 1gb running on dual channel, it makes up for the bandwidth.
However that board has an athlon xp 1800+ in the other machine, the 4200 bandwidth does pretty good.

Have a friend with the epox nforce 2 chipset, works great for her. So far nothing but good coming from them. They are stable and run great with the latest nforce 2 drivers.
