Gigabyte touts sturdier components for longevity




Funny thing, I was so sure that my 3 year old mb was bad that I sent it back to Gigabyte twice......each time they tested it for 6 hour's straight, and then promply returned it to me....no charge for each time!......turns out that I had a finickey psu :lol:

Slipball, about Gigabyte
 

Perhaps your story is truly indicative of Gigabyte being sturdy! :D

Yes flyby I have been very happy with gigabyte. When Bob has been out awhile I will build a new system, and gigabyte will be in it for sure......I was looking about, and found this card, it sounds awsome! I wonder if my board supports it, I might check it out :P

Hey Slipball
 

That's one mighty card there. I wonder if your board will have enough room? If you're thinking of upgrading, might two 8800GTs in sli mode be about the same price. But I'm not sure about performance, though these cards have 512mb of onboard ram. It might be close.
Thanks for the positive feedback on Gigabyte. It's in the running for my next mobo brand.
