Default Best motherboard for i7 and Windows 7 64bit?
Are there any motherboards that work better with the i7 920 on Windows 7 64-bit? I am not looking to overclock the hell out of my system.

Thanks
SAFX

Basically it comes down to what is your budget. Any X58 mobo will work the same with Win7.

Agreed. Pick a reputable brand (Asus, Gigabyte, EVGA, etc) and get the cheapest one that supports your graphics config plans.

Almost all the boards do roughly the same BLCK with i7 chips so even if you plan to do some serious overclocking, you will be fine.

The ASUS Rampage II Extreme looks nice too, a bit pricey, but nice.

These are all 64-bit supported mobo's, right?
