I have heard good things about both brands.  If I end up switching,
those two are certainly options I like.  I don't caare about the flashy
stuff, I just want solid performance with years of service.  Save all
the fancy/flashy stuff for those that like a light show.  I just want
one that works very well with Linux.  I could care less about windoze. 
None of my rigs will ever see windoze.  lol

Thanks for the opinion and recommendation as well.

It seems that this mobo doesn't play
well with 64 bit Linux.  Some even
said it appears to be a windoze only mobo.  So, my question is this.  I
just spent $120 on a mobo that it appears it doesn't work up to its full
value.  Should I swap this mobo for another board, brand to most likely,
and be done with it?  I like my last Gigabyte mobo but if this one isn't
going to support what I use, maybe I need to rethink this selection. 

What are the thoughts of some mobo gurus?   I bought it from newegg so
return shouldn't be to big of a issue if I get this started pretty
soon.  I'll check for BIOS updates but the posts I found said it didn't
help a bit.

Thoughts?

      I have had good experiences with ASUS and Tyan boards. The latter
      are more expensive, but Tyan does officially support Linux. (The
