Throw the exact same hardware on any other manufacturers board though and no problems. Can't comment on a Gigabyte board as the last one I had used a VIA KT400 chipset However I can vouch for Asus P45 boards (currently I got 9.5GB\s bandwidth with a measly 3.2GHz @ x8 400FSB) TPower, in spite of its horrible BIOS, and even the MSI P45 boards.
the dfi nf4 boards were one of the best i ever used the board took abuse n never complained
just people like you who like the easy way or get confused in bios

Dont like dfi, have heard some bad things, always been a msi fan (neo mike) i think its time for a new motherboard, asus looks tough to beat hmmm decisions
dfi boards are finiky but once you get them going you love em
asus p45 boards overclocking quads nicely but bandwidth suks like gigabut
the dfi ut p45 has nice bandwidth and not verry picky on ram
just wait till the prices drop
one thing for sure i be gettin one
