Synaesthesia Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 and people that build professional systems for video says that Gigabyte often is not reliable as a AsusI've heard the opposite just as often Gigabyte make solid boards, and quite durable - with the solid capacitor. Asus also make great boards, and many work perfectly with OS X, including, I believe, the P5Q Pro - good board.
