I am interested in 3 mobos.

ABIT AB-IC7-MAX3
http://www.motherboards.com/product_...ex_id=7&subcat
egory_id=7&products_id=24540&

ASUS ASUS-P4C800-DELUXE
http://www.motherboards.com/product_...ex_id=7&subcat
egory_id=146&products_id=20967&

GIGA-BYTE GA-8KNXP
http://www.motherboards.com/product_...ex_id=7&subcat
egory_id=11&products_id=20864&

They are all great mobos, but I am not sure which one to get.

Any suggestions?

Goes something like this I think...
ABITs are the enthusiast and overclockers boards, ready to be pushed to
the limit

With Asus you got everything but the kitchen sink, runs well and very
few problems

Giga-byte is the stable rock solid board that will run for ages.

Like you said they are all excellent boards, but I recently bought
the Asus, and am happy with it...it really does have evrything but the
kitchen sink...some of those extra USB ports will need an add-on or will
need to use the front case usb ports though, out of the box, they are
not all useable. The Asus also has an extra slot for a proprietary Asus
Wifi card if you ever plan to go that route. If your into overclocking
look into the Abit board. If you got a machine that you need to run
24-7 I think Giga-byte would be a good choice.
