Asus and Gigabyte

[Dan_D]

Interesting trivia regarding Asus;

The name Asus originates from Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek mythology.[6][7] Only the last four letters of the word were used in order to give the name a high position in alphabetical listings.[8]

It is but they pronounce it "A-soos".

I've been using Asus board since the days of 486, Gigabyte since slot A. I've built too many comps to count. Back in those days Asus and Abit ruled. Abit because of features and Asus because of reliability. I stick with Asus now because I find they support their products the longest. Like the fact that they were one of the first to release a beta bios to support bulldozer on the my 790FX Crosshair IV.

Personally I'd never had a board die on me that wasn't my fault in all my years of building. I buy Asus because it usually has the highest tolerance and it's just force of habit. I'll spend the extra $50 bucks for a personal stable system. Plus the resell easier and faster
