I'm a AMD guy because of cost but also like Gigabyte and ASUS mobos.  I
wish Abit was still around.  The 10 year old mobo that is in storage was
working last I used it.  It was just slow as it gets.

I'm not into gaming.  It is one reason I got the one I got now.  It is
supposed to have all the kinks worked out and be ultra durable.  Well,
not so fast Gigabyte.  It's got a pretty serious issue. 

Thanks for the heads up on the gaming boards tho.  I haven't heard that
one.  The mobo I have looked at is this one.

Same chipset so basically, just a different brand is all.  I dunno yet.
