I've heard good/bad things about all three. Abit cost more, but is the difference worth the extra cost. Please give me your opinions. Thanks!

The Abit was my second choice, but this board was 40 dollars cheaper, and runs just as good. I also had all the extras left over from my GigaByte (mainly the extra USB ports), so I just installed them in my Soltek.
If you want a feature rich board, that's a great overclocker, then get the Abit. If you want a bang for your buck, then get the Soltek or Epox. I'm not sure of the stepping on the Epox's though, so maybe someone else can help out.
-Edit-If you buy the Soltek, buy it from Googlegear. I have no idea what's going on at Newegg with their pricing, but both versons of the FRN2 have fluctuated as much as 20 dollars over the past two days. Googlegear has the FRN2-L for 92 shipped, and the FRN2-RL for 94 shipped. Both prices are cheaper than Newegg's. I got mine from googlegear and got the C1 stepping, so everyone else should too..Googlegear ran out, and just got a new shipment in (mine came from the new shipment).
