I also had my ABIT-AV8-3rd-Eye motherboard for my Athlon 64-X2 die last Summer. I replaced the motherboard with an old unused one, an Abit AX8 VIA K8T890. I chose that board because of the number of its PCI slots as I need one each for my 2 M-Audio Delta 1010 audio adapters. I'm going to try to stay with my same hardware for now. But, I see a time when there won't be enough legacy PCI slots in new motherboards to allow for multiple 1010s in a computer. At that time I might convert to firewire adapters as the FFADO project has made very good progress from what I can tell. Please let us know what you choose to do.
