Both support Crossfire and SLI, however the Gigabyte runs both @ 8x the M5A97's second PCI-E slot is only 4x.
The Asus has UEFI bios, the Gigabyte has a traditional Bios but does support 3TB hard drives, and also has "Dual Bios"
And as VolvoDoto points out the Gigabyte has an 8+2 phase CPU VRM power design, the Asus only has a 4+2 Phase VRM so the Gigabyte should OC better.
