The S288x series of boards are/were great.  Probably because all of the
hyper-transport connected components are from the same vendor (AMD).  I'd
still consider this series if you can live without PCI-e.  Unfortunately
there are all sort of compatibility problems between PCI-X cards and
chipsets.  Compatibility issues are what prompted my move to boards with
an NVidia PCI-e implementation.
