Helooo Friends i have purchased a intel processor core 2 due and looking for motherboard which is better among two 1)Gigabytes Intel 2)Asus pls suggest a proper motherboard warm regards adam carter
depends on the usage and model?..i think both brands are just as good though ..btw which Core 2 Duo Processor did you get?
Gigabyte and ASUS are both motherboard manufacturers. They produce a WIDE variety of motherboards for both Intel and AMD platforms. It depends on your budget and what you intend to do.
I think you should go for Asus. Because it provides excellent features and technical support to the costumers.
I prefer ASUS if I can afford the extra cost, but I would go with Gigabyte over cheaper brands like MSI, etc.
Asus is good, Gigabyte is pretty good too, but just google up some reviews to see what are other people's opinion. I believe there is no such thing as a perfect manufacturer. They do have some good models as well as "dont waste your money on this" models. Chipset wise, i would prefer to get an Intel based chipset over Nvidia or anything else.
I agree. You should not select motherboards just based on the brand / manufacturer. Every manufacturer have good and bad boards. Yeah, Intel chipsets are the best option for Intel CPUs at this point. NVIDIA is still not up to par.
I have used the ASUS P5Q up and running for 1½ (nonstop) years with NO problem. Here's the link to the original thread when I was considering the purchase... http://forums.techarp.com/general-hardware/24794-1000-usd-spend-help-9.html#post345249?postcount=81
