I've looked pretty hard at the Asus P5B premium. I'll be using this computer primarily for GIS software. (Cartography..mapping and such) I won't be doing any overclocking.

Hi livitup, welcome to Geeks to Go!
The Asus is a nice choice, especially as you're looking at it pretty hard Don't forget it has a 965P chipset, which is last-generation. You should be looking at something with the P35 chipset, like an Abit IP35-E or a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3 - all good choices.
Hope this helps.

I didn't double check myself but I think the P35 ASUS is the P5K. It gets good reviews from Tom's Hardware.

Id also go for a p35 mobo right now.
Look at the GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3P its quite better than the regular DS3 but yes you could get by fine with one of the ds3 gigabytes. The GA-P35-DS3L is $99.99 at newegg.
Abit makes good boards too I just bought the Abit IP35 PRO and its a very very good board but meant for serious overclockers.
The other abits are great aswell. Tough choice just look at reviews/benchmarks and such or if you want to save money get the DS3.
