We have been using Intel Server Boards 3200SHLC & 3000AH very comfortably 24x7 for past many years 24x7. Latest good experience has been with Gigabyte G31 series and G41 series motherboards. But I don't think you can call them workstation class - if you meant graphics workstations.
I have been using Intel mobos with Xeon CPUs in my solutions but lately the only Intel workstation mobos available in the channels are dual processor variety which cost more than the single processor ones. Even though these boards can run with a single cpu, I cannot justify the additional cost of the mobo. My application does not need dual cpu horse power, therefore I was looking for an AMD solution. This system will run in a production environment and reliability is high priority.
Thanks to all for sharing your thoughts. I will see what is available in the market - leaning towards ASUS/MSI workstation boards.
