I have used both SoYo and Asus in the past... in fact my brother has a machine I built for him runing a soyo dragon MoBo.

I was in a pinch when I bought my current Mobo, FoxCon Winfast board.. nothing fancy but it works well.

I have been reading reviews on that gigabyte and it is a decent "sub $200" board.
the one that tom's gave the best review to is actualy $20 cheaper, but out of stock. ASRock X58 Extreme

I am looking at building a windows 7 system with the new hardware, and probably dumping a 64 bit copy of XP Pro on this one so as to take full advantage of the CPU and RAM, and possibly making it into a media center.
