FWIW, I've been looking at Gigabyte's i5-compatible boards lately. I've 
had good success with Gigabyte in the past, and the boards have been 
reviewing pretty well, too. Also, if you go for one of the higher-end 
models (the GA-P55A-UD4, for instance), you get Firewire ports running 
from a TI chipset, which are strongly recommended when it comes to 
running Firewire audio interfaces.
