Which One? Help me deside!

I like ASUS just |---| that much better than MSI, so i'd go with the ASUS board. It's also got 140w proc support, may come in handy if the new Phenom II 940 BE is 140w TDP and you choose to upgrade to it.
 
Out of the two you mentioned, the K9A2 hands down.
one of the most frequently used motherboards in review websites.
Seems to be a good overclocker.

But according to one of the review websites it does NOT support the 145W cpus.

Addendum 28/01/2008: In light of recent events where the MSI K9A2 CF is not warranted to use AMD CPUs of 125W TDP - including the AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+, 6400+ and future Phenom 9700 and 9900 CPUs, we have decided to remove the previous award for this product. Unless you want to use other CPUs and not overclock, we can no longer recommend this motherboard for everyone.
