Asus or Gigabyte!!!!!!!!

I can't determine which brand to go with for P45. Can someone post there past experience with either of these 2 companys and what board do you guys suggest. Pairing with E8400 and ATi 4850. Any suggestions for a P45

Choose whatever one is cheaper or has the feature set onboard that you require. Both companies make solid boards with good support.

I got the GA-EP45-DS3P for AU$180. For a month and until they released the B7c beta BIOS the board was a sitting duck for overclocking. Ever since, i have updated to the latest BIOS and the system runs like a charm, overclocking and all. My last GA-P35-DS3P started having problems after 8 months of purchase so i RMAed it (within warranty, still waiting for the new motherboard). In general i would rate Gigabyte as 8/10 in terms of performance, price and support. Not perfect, but not bad either. Pretty fast boards with lots of features. My only ASUS board was an old Socket7 a few years ago, which came DOA. So i had to wait for another 1 month to get it replaced. Other than that i cannot comment on the current ASUS line of products.
I owe a DFI (975 chipset) and until i broke it (my fault) it was working like a dog. I agree that DFI is probably better suited for more stable and professional environments (overclocking, industrial, etc). Hence more experienced users should try the DFI option.

Sorry, but if you are reffering to my comment, i said that the board i got was DOA, that means Dead On Arrival, hence it didn't work. I never said that their service was good. It was not bad either, something in the middle. I haven't bought anything from ASUS for the last 6 years, so i can not speak about their service or products.
