Well, I guess everyone's experience is different, I've got 2 GA-P35-DS3 with Core 2 duos and a GA-MA770-GS3 with a Phenom 9600 and I love them. I've never had a problem with a Gigabyte Motherboard. Some people love Asus and I've had several go bad on me, you figure. On Thu, 2008-05-15 at 07:35 -0500, Ryan Nichols wrote:Really?

I've been running a Gigabyte P35-DS4 with Intel Quad Core and 4GB ram for nearly a year and it's been solid as a rock with CentOS. The disk subsystem is well supported in AHCI mode, and decent drivers are now available for the onboard nic (there's a dkms-enabled driver in RPMForge). Being a server, I've not tested other onboard features such as sound etc. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.
