yeah, i can wait a little bit. i figured with all the gadgets, the abit would be the way to go, but i have heard good things from my dad about giga byte. funny thing tho, i really don't need any gadgets... except maybe the firewire would be nice, but i'm going to be upgrading my live platinum to an audigy 2 anyway, so that's not even an issue. i just want the control, plenty of ram, and the extra ide slots (i use an expansion card right now). if i can control the processor, i'm happy tho. i've got other upgrades on my list anyway, so the mb can wait a bit
