I'm just a bit biased against Gigabyte since I've dealt with at least two of their KT333 boards being fried due to the CPU melting down on it, and I've yet to see an Asus have that problem (mainly because the hardware shuts off the CPU if it begins to overheat)."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

Well I haven't. Infact I already have built six computers for six other people that have included the gigabyte board and none have come back to me with problems.Originally posted by Asher

Odd thing is I went through three Asus. Two were KT-266As, one was a KT-333. They all failed.and I've yet to see an Asus have that problem (mainly because the hardware shuts off the CPU if it begins to overheat).For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

That's extremely odd, Fez. One might say you were molesting the board, or lying.
First off, if you had the problem with the board why would you buy another of the same brand?
Second, Asus is usually renowned for its quality, and from what I've seen at work (and at home), it's well deserved. Their boards consistently perform well, pack all of the good features, and have excellent board layouts, as well as their known reliability.
Gigabyte is regarded as "Asus' little brother" because they try so hard, but every time they come up just a little bit short.
BTW, define "failed" for me."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Because I was pretty dumb in thinking it would change. I did that with Shuttles... thinking... hey it could only get better.... ouch, was I wrong.First off, if you had the problem with the board why would you buy another of the same brand?
Well not for me.Second, Asus is usually renowned for its quality, and from what I've seen at work (and at home),
And that is basically my explanation of gigabyte.Their boards consistently perform well, pack all of the good features, and have excellent board layouts, as well as their known reliability.
I strongly and bitterly disagree. It is the other way around.Gigabyte is regarded as "Asus' little brother" because they try so hard, but every time they come up just a little bit short.

No. Wrong. Gigabyte has the best repetition. I had two old Gigabytes... they were good but got outdated and I upgraded.Originally posted by Asher

SHUT UP! JUST FOR ONCE. This thread is on a simple question I think has already been answered damn it:Or maybe the problem existed between the keyboard and the chair, or perhaps in your head...

It's not reputation in your little world, but in the tech community.
Go on any forum, HardOCP, Anand, DigitLife, AcesHardware, whatever -- they'll recommend Asus over Gigabyte 9 times out of 10.
If there's one thing about you, it's that you manage to convince yourself of anything and you stick with it -- at least for a couple of weeks.SHUT UP! JUST FOR ONCE. These thread is a simple question I think has already been answered damn it:

Can anybody get me some ice for this foot?
Not the greatest features but the best performance... even tomshardware, which I utterly despise says that.
Out of a total of 18 test candidates, the Gigabyte GA-7VRXP made the best impression: in all of the benchmark disciplines, this motherboard with the KT333 chipset ranks among the top performers.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

I will not buy Intel. I am not sure about quality and all of that as I am cannot fully grasp all of it. But all I know is my Athalon 733 is faster than my brother's Pentium 1 ghz. And that is a fact. Most of the other things are equal so from my experience and some of what I have read, Intel tends to inflate their numbers or at least have numbers that while they are bigger than AMD's are not half as good. But that is just my experience.About 24,000 people die every day from hunger or hunger-related causes. With a simple click daily at the Hunger Site you can provide food for those who need it.Comment

Tom's used a beta BIOS, check out Anand:
ASUS has been a favorite of ours for quite some time; their commitment to engineering excellence has given them a leg up on the competition when it comes to competency in board manufacturing.Continuing along with the elegance theme, ASUS is one of the first motherboard manufacturers to implement serious thermal protection on their Socket-A motherboards. The A7V333 reads from the Palomino/Thoroughbred's on-die thermal diode and can be set to automatically trigger a shutdown if the internal core temperature gets too high. Just as with the passive North Bridge cooling mentioned above, we'd like to see more motherboard manufacturers follow in ASUS' footsteps with this design.If you look at the conclusion, the two best boards (in a tie) were Asus and MSI, Gigabyte in third.Our biggest complaint about the board is that Gigabyte has once again resorted to a BIOS setup without clock multiplier adjustments. They had done this in the past, but they finally started including it in some of their boards but once again it's been pulled out of the BIOS and is only available through dipswitches on the motherboard. Having the support is better than nothing, but it takes very little effort to offer the functionality in the BIOS like most other manufacturers. We hope that their next generation boards will offer this functionality.
Benchmarks are here: http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.html?i=1636&p=15
You'll see Asus is always on top of Gigabyte, but they're both good."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Asher: These tests all say different things... I don't trust any of them anymore... I just go with my own experience....
So with this settled, leave me alone. And don't turn try to turn this into a love-hate relationship because I don't like you.

An Athlon 733 will not be faster than a Pentium 1GHz. It's faster than a P3 733, but a P3 800 and Athlon 733 are about even.
But that doesn't matter.
Nothing AMD makes comes close to beating a 2.53GHz Pentium 4.
As for "inflating numbers" -- Pentium 4's numbers are real MHz, AMD is the one with "model numbers" which are supposed to represent MHz. IE: A "2100" model Athlon runs at 1733MHz. Bear in mind that MHz != speed."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
