I can brag about my Gigabyte. When I was doing research on my newest |
| 10 |
rig, Gigabyte seemed to be the highest rated. As we know, that |
| 11 |
changes. When I built a rig several years ago, it was Abit. The only |
| 12 |
complaint I have with my Gigabyte is the RAM sockets are close to the |
| 13 |
CPU. If they were just a half inch farther over it would be awesome. |
| 14 |
My CPU cooler fan touched the top of the memory coolers and I got the |
| 15 |
shortest I could find at the time, that were worth having anyway. |

I think I had a ASUS before but can't recall since it was not one of my |
| 18 |
main rigs. I think it was in a rig I built for a friend of mine. His |
| 19 |
house burnt so no way to know for sure. It melted. :-( R.I.P. I |
| 20 |
wouldn't complain about it tho. It worked fine and was stable even |
| 21 |
during the Gentoo compiles. |

Most of this depends on what you want and what you can afford. I never |
| 24 |
get the latest greatest as it costs to much. You may want and can |
| 25 |
afford the latest greatest tho. I would just check out the reviews once |
| 26 |
you get down to a few mobos and see if any problems are reported. |
| 27 |
Making sure everything is Linux compatable is a good idea too. I got a |
| 28 |
link to a site of you don't already have one. |
