    Am I right that the DFI cost around 66 quids, which is just the same as Gigabyte. And u can't justify 10 more quids over Abit and Chaintech for a damn good mobo ??? (i have it)

    thats the question you need to ask, there is no denying that the DFI is the best S754 mobo, and for 10/15quid more its not worth stuggling with an inferior motherboard.

    all in my opinion of course, even if it means a diet of purely rice for a month the DFI is worth it.
