Take a look at this board. GA-8SQ800 Ultra Does anyone else know anymore info than what is available on the gigabyte web site (i.e., when it will be out)?

YES! WHOOOOOOLLLY CRAP that board has EVERYTHING, unlike the AMD board that other guy was talking about this has SATA RAID <b>AND</b> ATA133 RAID!!! USB 2.0 AND Firewire. AGP8X AND Hyperthreading! WTF? Now I can build that 655 chipset system I've been talking about since last May!

I have a question about this board. I have heard some bad things in the past about Gigabyte boards, and while every product does get some bad reviews, I've never heard anything good about Gigabyte from someone who owns one. I've only heard good things about Gigabyte when it comes to features and benchmarks, but nothing that has ever said they were good quality. I am not arguing any opinions here, I'm just wondering, from someone who has experience with Gigabyte, are they actually good boards?

And Crashman, I looked at the specs on Gigabyte's site and I didn't see where it said that board has S-ATA RAID, only IDE. I'm not saying it doesn't have it, I just didn't see it.

Yes, they are great boards. I'm a system builder, I've used EVERYONE'S boards.

Their video cards suck, I don't know whether it's driver or hardware related. Haven't heard any complaints about their newer non-integrated chipsets.

Hey, speaking of Gigabyte boards, I know someone who is currently having problems with one he installed. I have personally never used one, so I have no experience with them.

I hate computers..... why am I still here?

 

[modeverything]

What type of problems are they having? Are you sure it's the motherboard?

Well every Gigabyte board I've bought has had problems at one time or another. Also trying to get a response from Gigabyte is very difficult at times. I've had Abit in the past and have never had trouble with them. Maybe Gigabyte is getting better but, sad to say, I have a bad taste in my mouth. Today mobos have so many more integrated features than they did just a year ago. This could be the reason for some boards having problems. We almost don't even need PCI slots anymore!

Audio of ASUS A7N8X and all MCP-T boards are much better than this mobo
