Which one out of these two?
Okay guys I'm upgrading my motherboard so I can fit in my i5-3470 and I've been recommend on another forum that these 2 are the best for the price, so which one to choose?

B75M-DGS or B75MA-P33

Thanks.

Thank you very much. I think I'll go with the AsRock DGS one I guess, does the P33 have more features or is just worse in every way compared to DGS one.

Many like MSI, in my business though I get more problem calls about MSI mobos than any 2 other manufacturers put together, with no consistent problem, might have bad DRAM slots here, ethernet port there, USB on another, PCI-E on another, generally with problematic mobos there a common theme, MSI just has poor QC quality control, so if I were to build for clients on them it's very likely the builds would bite me in the butt and cost me money, have to check out the rig when there's a failure, take care of the RMA, provide a loaner while waiting on the RMA (and MSI is very slow), then explain why the 'replacement' mobo is a used refurb (which is what they've sent for the last few I was involved with), and then have to rebuild the computer again. Granted a bad mobo can come from any manufacturer, but when you see lots of them DOA or have a variety of failures within the first 30-60 days, you just say No to them. Most all of the builders and IT folks I network with feel the same, very few will build on MSI

But it's kind of confusing that on the other forum they recommend me the MSI one. Huh. What does the MSI one have that the Rock one doesn't?

Thanks for your answer, I guess I'll go with the Rock then but I'll wait for some more people to see what they think.

I'd go with the Rock mobo, they are good, won't touch MSI mobos due to their poor QC
