Just built a new system and I'm using the Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 with
a Intel Q6600 Quad Core and I've been very happy with it so far. Still
early, I guess, but no surprises when installing Fedora 7, openSUSE 10.2
and openSUSE 10.3 beta, and Windows XP. Well, besides the (in)famous
"Missing Install CD" problem documented here:
http://www.softwareinreview.com/cms/content/view/60/
I ran into when installing 10.2, but the workaround solved the problem.
