[QUOTE="funkstar, post: 556675, member: 14311"] I'm with PD on that as well. Good quality boards at a decent price. One thing to note about the 780G chipset though: as soon as you use the second PCIe 16x slot, two of the 1x slots stop working. This is a PCIe lane limitation of that chipset. I'm considering moving to a 790G based system to get round this. My hardware RAID cards use the 16x slots so I'm left with only one PCIe 1x slot for when i move to DVB-S. All my systems here are Gigabyte (TV server, desktop workstation, two MP clients) and they have been great. Windows 7 installs all the drivers for them straight off, no need to mess about with USB memory sticks to get the Realtek network card working either :) [/QUOTE]
