	Historically I've had a the highest failure rate with Gigabyte
main boards. They're increadibly suseptiable to the slightest power
surges, don't like being turned off without a "proper" shutdown, and while
I've not run any tests, the bus seems to be slower. I'd go with Soltek if
you can find them, and Asus on the other side.
