I couldn't fine the Gigabyte at Newegg. Maybe you can find it and |
| 21 |
forward links to a product spec page? |

The Asus looks nice for a 920 processor. One thing - the SATA ports |
| 24 |
come out horizontally so make sure your case has enough room to route |
| 25 |
the cables. I bought an Intel MB like that for my wife's system and |
| 26 |
ended up only being able to use 4 of the 6 ports in the case I bought. |

I'm using an Asus Rampage II Extreme with an i7-980x which seems to |
| 29 |
have similar features. I suspect you'll be quite happy with the Asus. |
