Well, I guess everyone's experience is different, I've got 2 GA-P35-DS3 with Core 2 duos and a GA-MA770-GS3 with a Phenom 9600 and I love them. I've never had a problem with a Gigabyte Motherboard. Some people love Asus and I've had several go bad on me, you figure.

Really? We bought that EXACT motherboard.. 10 to be exact and we've had 9 fail and the 10th is on its way to major failure.. the odd thing is that 10th one was the first one purchased and that was 6 months ago.

I've been running a Gigabyte P35-DS4 with Intel Quad Core and 4GB ram for nearly a year and it's been solid as a rock with CentOS. The disk subsystem is well supported in AHCI mode, and decent drivers are now available for the onboard nic (there's a dkms-enabled driver in RPMForge). Being a server, I've not tested other onboard features such as sound etc. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.
