We've tried a number of boards for our application servers and the only UP AMD DDR board I trust right now is the Gigabyte GA-7DX. They are rock solid.
Other AMD 761 boards may work, but I've made too many late night trips to the colo to stray from what I know works. DDR support seems to be the breaking point on most boards.
