That's all good in theory, but when they charge you for an RMA, plus you have to pay to ship it back, *and* it's an essential part so you can't finish building your computer/start using it until you get your new motherboard, then there's a serious issue there.
Gigabyte boards usually don't get much attention because they're nothing very special, pretty generic, but they are supposed to be very stable. One of my dad's PCs has a gigabyte motherboard, works just fine.
The fact that Russ (ala compucheap.com) stopped selling abit boards is proof enough for me that they are suck. My current board is an ASUS, and my next board will be either an ASUS or an MSI. I must admit that I did have to RMA an ASUS K7V once, but I only had to pay for shipping, Abit is the only company I know of charging a fee for RMAs.
