AMD-based motherboards are a more sensitive matter. Current Socket-A SDRAM motherboards haven't even lived up their life expectancy yet, and already newer DDR SDRAM based motherboards are on the way. At this point you can do two things; either upgrade to newer DDR-based motherboards as soon as they become available, or wait until the prices drops even further for current SDR-based motherboards.

The ASUS A7V and the ABIT KT7-RAID are out high-end choices, while the Microstar K7T Pro, the Chaintech CT-7AIA, and the Gigabyte GA-7ZX all provide sufficient performance for the price, but less in the way of features, especially when it comes to overclocking options.
