tstrike...
You probably won't get many responses as the GB mobo issue is being beat to death and alot of the old-heads here are getting tired of seeing posts about them...frankly I'm sick of the marketting crap that is connected with these mobos...I really liked the P4G8X at first, and then after some hands on advice took a hard look at the GA-8INXP...if I had to choose at this moment I would get the Gigabyte...but after all this hype I think I'm gonna wait and see if Gigabyte offers a mobo like the GA-8INXP but with the sis655 chipset...it has support for dual DDR333...and if they add firewire YEHAW!!
I'll stand in line for that sucker...check out the thread I started..."Evan, being put on the spot about GB mobos, do you still think the GA-8INXP is still..." There might be some useful info in there for you.

how can we possibly give you advise on boards that nobody even owns yet?!?

Thugsrock...you're not REALLY an old-head! But you are correct...the mobos aren't even availabile yet...I had pre-ordered one(P4G8X Deluxe) for $199 and watched that price grow to $225...and watched the release date get bumped further and further...like you said, I'll be taking your advice and wait for some real world tests ...

I'll wait until mid 2003 and buy all your old GB boards for 1/3 of retail.
