mine was partly due to price (no surprise there) and then availability...the giga cost $330 (DDR3) while asus' version was going to cost $400....asus is now available....i know; DDR3 memory is up there...but, a year ago or little longer i paid the same price for 2gig's of corasir dominators as i paid for my 4 gig's of GSkill DDR3.

giga made a nice board with some quirks and i am hoping for a newer bios soon...the only quirk, that is bothersome, is setting vcore...the value i set jumps/increases by 0.03v to 0.04...luckily for me, i can read it out from the board to know exactly what is set....i might re-flash the bios with the latest bios and boot block just to make sure the code is not corrupted in the boot block, which is home for the memory straps and voltages.
