I have only ever had one issue with an ASUS board, and while very annoying, didn't throw me off the brand at all.
i used to be a die hard asus fan. i bought 1 gigabyte board and that was it gigabyte won me over. some of the asus 939 amd mobos wont let you run a dual core Right away. you have to go single core then upgrade the BIOS from the web then reinstall your dual core chip. with gigabyte no problems right out of the box. some of the gigabyte boards have dual BIOS and other nice features that make you feel warm and fuzzy. but its tasters choice. do your research look at customer reviews on new egg and make an informed decision. i haven't used either gigabyte or asus with amd new am2 socket but will be soon.
Dfi expert boards are awesome, total customizable, great support and forums.
