I don't want to post all the ones to stay away from, so here are what I think are the "better" mobo makers:

 

Abit

Asus

Gigabyte

Soyo

 

 

They all have nice stuff, and I would rate them the way they are right there. Abit has a lot of overclocking features, and Asus has them on some boards. Gigabyte is a little behind with the KT400 chipsets then the others, but still has some nice features. Soyo is kinda just there, they're not good, but not bad either.

 

SiS chipsets are also a good idea to stay away from.

actually some friends of mine both have the ecs k7s5a, with sis chipset, and they have the most stable and well-running comps around. Just don't go for a mobo under 80 bucks unless you've read reviews. Also, don't forget resellerratings.com for buying off pricewatch.
