Id have to go and say Dfi and Asus would be the only boards I will ever run and use in a build.

Like someone else said Asus is rock solid. Im using a basic Asus socket 939 pci express bored because I was short on cash at the moment and I have had no probloms with it. Its a great board for overclocking and every thing is pretty user friendly.

Dfi is the king of all boards, but not for novice users.. There are settings galore in the bios. Its pretty much for overclocking. The first time I used one in a build for my friend I was lost, took me a little while to get use too, but has alot of nice features. I flashed his bios 4 times, from oldest to newest bios, and the last/newest flash didnt work, but the board jumped back to the last good bios flash I did, without having to do anything else. I was very impressed with that.

Im might as well say that evga is a kick ass company too, never used one of their mobos nor know anyone who has, but if their warrenty is the same as their video cards you cant go wrong. I will only use a evga video card for the warrenty purposes, and that is because I love to OC. If you overclock your video card to much and fry it, it is warrentied. If you flash your bios and mess something up, your card is still warrentied. I think the only way your card is not warrentied is if you do a volt mod. Evga also has the step up program which is if you buy a new card and 2 months or so later something better comes out, they will buy your old card back and take the difference off the new card.

thats a dam good warranty, if they warranty you for OC'in :smile:

Maybe somebody accidently clicked gigabyte when trying to vote for Asus...

yeah i use DFI mobos and i dunno it is setting galore thats for sure. it took me forever to figure out how to install my video card... apparently i had to put one stick of memory in. flash the bios for 10min. put the video card in. flash the bios again. then add the second stick of memory. plus the guys on the dfi forums are ass holes. well alot of them are. id probably go with asus but i think dfi is great for ocing and customizing and they look great too so my vote goes for dfi

I guess I'm one of the few who knew how to use the DFI mobo right away...does that make me a pro?  j/k

I asked who picked gigabyte because their board suck ass. I fried 3 of there boards right out of the box(warranty exchange). I got 1 working for about a decent 2 months but then it went to hell. so I my good friend told me a bit about DFI. I bought one (worth every penny IMO. best part of all about dfi is that all their components are from Japan and not china or Taiwon, I know it doesn't sound like much but the quaility is there ;)
