New I'm looking into GigaByte myself.
Mainly because I currently have a GigaByte board that currently runs an overclocked Slot A 650 (can only get it to 715 because anything higher and it won't even POST) and it's been working flawlessly since Day One.

My current fascination is an older [link|http://www.giga-byte.com/products/7vrxp.htm|GA-7VRXP] and possibly an XP 2000+. Yes, the board is a bit dated, but a) I don't want Bleeding Edge, b) the onboard NIC and sound have a prayer of working with OS/2 Warp 4, and c) the prices for it are coming down as vendors are unloading excess inventory that hasn't sold.

New I have used a few GigaByte without problems
If I remember correctly, for dual processor units, though I think at least one was a single processor.

New I have one of those
I've got an GA-7VRXP in my older system and the nice bleeding edge GA-7VAXP in my new one. I got the GA-7VAXP because the GA-7VRXP worked so well I just went with the latest model in that line.

The GA-7VRXP worked like a charm, the only tweaking I ever had to do was with the memory setting. I had to up the voltage one step on both systems to get my 333Mhz CL2 memory to work stably.

I had my 2200+xp running in the GA-7VRXP for a while, and it worked fine.

When The Wall fell, I had a basement full of homebrew and a freezer full of venison here in The Land of the Free. All quite legal, unless I committed capitalism, in which case it becomes felonious.
