I've heard a few people praising the Epox 875 boards. I've owned the P4C800-E Deluxe and found it lacking. I also own the Soyo P4I874P Version 1.0 and it's lacking in other areas. You can read my reviews at Sysopt. Lots of people complain about RAM stability problems on the IC7 (all versions). That leaves, for preformance boards, Aopen, DFI, Epox, Gigabyte, and MSI, I've heard the best reports on Epox.
