I like Gigabyte! Gigabyte's dual BIOS is very safe to mess with. Flashing the BIOS is so easy with Gigabyte. As well as setting up the BIOS and also the driver installations. I always use the drivers from the Gigabyte web site, never the driver CD. You can save several settings configurations so that at boot-up you can select a gaming set-up or a normal set-up or a super OC setting. Comes in handy when you are experimenting with OC'ing. You can revert to any saved settings if your OC is not working. And not have to go thru all the BIOS pages again.
