I have no real opinion on that MB. I've never owned a Gigabyte so I
don't have a real point of reference. I know other people here use
them so I suspect they are fine.

I personally like the Asus brand for flashing BIOS as it can be done
from a USB stick. If Gigabyte supports anything like that (i.e. -
doesn't require Windows or DOS or a floppy to flash BIOS) then it's
probably a good candidate.

Asus support isn't great. Their websites are slow and everyone seems
to complain about lack of communication when they have problems.
Again, I don't know anything about Gigabyte on that account.

Good luck.

- Mark
