Just as the title says, why did you pick DFI over other brands?

For me it was the value. an X38 for $180, compared to around $250 for an Asus or comparable board. Along with that I've read about theyre quality and options.

I chose DFI because I love to tweak the BIOS and DFI is great with that kind of stuff. It is also rock solid once all the tweaking is done.

I went from a 680i that was about as stable as a bowl of jell-o to my current X48 DFI offering. It is night and day.

Soooo...that is why I chose DFI.

I have some computers that run 24x7. MB stays cool, no worries. I have a play-toy that I OC, my CPU may fry, but again, no worries. Well, my bank account suffers a bit, and my partner spends a whole evening telling me what an idiot I am.... Ruins that night's TV, movie... (Her PC runs a dfi as well, a mild OC of about 35%)

I choose a DFI because it was the best overclocker for the socket. Currently running a 50% overclock on a poor old Turion, without frying it.
