I agree that from reading these lists most people who buy Gigabyte |
| 53 |
seem to report being happy. |

| 55 |
It's strange about Asus. I read all this negative stuff on lists about |
| 56 |
people having trouble with Asus motherboards. However I've used them |
| 57 |
for years, having bought at least 10-12 different motherboard models |
| 58 |
in the last 15 years, and every one of them has worked great. They are |
| 59 |
still my #1 brand. |

|
| 61 |
I purchased 3 Intel MBs in 2010 and they have all worked fine also. |
