| 1121013 | 2010-07-21 23:31:00 | MSI is my personal favourite Gigabyte seem pretty good most of the time, DFI and Asrock aren't too bad either. I don't like Asus due to bad experiences as well, and definitely not the Foxconn. |

| 1121014 | 2010-07-21 23:55:00 | My current two higher spec pcs are both Gigabyte boards. | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1121015 | 2010-07-22 00:22:00 | Havent really used anything else but ASUS. I've got an Asrock P4 mobo in the bedroom. Cant say I liked it that much (prob biff it / replace it once I get another MATX mobo). It can only go to 2 GB. But there's only 1 GB in it atm. The flatmate used to use it (but I've replaced hers with a c2d system). I think after a while the USB ports started to play up on it. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1121016 | 2010-07-22 00:35:00 | Gigabyte for entry- and mid- level, Asus for mid- and high-level. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1121017 | 2010-07-22 01:09:00 | I used to use Gigabyte all the time, however the last board S939 wasnt that stable...I currently have an IP35 from Abit, but they now no longer make boards, which is a shame because they started to get real good....Cant say I like ASUS boards, have done about 3 recently and they havent been that stable either, if fact I'm still trying to sort a M477TD (think thats what it is)..... MSI have the best looking boards, but not best layout or stability. Asrock are supposed to be good budget and Foxconn is very big in the States but has had a bad rep over here! |

| 1121018 | 2010-07-22 01:25:00 | So the best advice may be buy a board. Then see how it goes. I have an Asus board in my PC as a matter of preference. |

| 1121019 | 2010-07-22 01:58:00 | Gigabyte or ASUS. Have one of each, no complaints. | Netsukeninja (13296) | ||
| 1121020 | 2010-07-22 04:58:00 | OK then, thanks guys. It seems that availability could be an issue, as not many places are selling AM2 boards any more. | sammo450 (13626) | ||
| 1121021 | 2010-07-22 05:19:00 | If you are talking about the AMD Phenom X4 9550 in your signature, that is AM2+ CPU. According to Pricespy, there are loads of AM2+ boards available... |
