I prefer Gigabyte: more features. Great overclocking.

Did you not read doncorleone's post? He's not a big overclocker, and if he was DFI would be a better choice than Gigabyte.

If you aren't going to go big in overclocking you don't need the DFI.

Asus is a very good company and known for their stability. I have an Asus motherboard and I have never had any problems with it.

I haven't personally owned an Epox, but I have heard good things about them. Also, they aren't that expensive.

get the ASRock mobo, 82.99 with 2 PCI-e X16 slots even in SLi, i kno u dont want SLi but the option is there, also ULi chip is better than the NF4 chip ( my prefernece)
