Asus, much better UEFI BIOS, overall Asus got much better quality than Gigabyte.

Yeah your dead chipsets can laugh all they want.

Nice, but they still work and the G31 could teoretically OC a celeron 430 to 7GHz.

Off-topic: I just got a P67 Extreme4

Can go with Asus A88XM Plus which is easy to overclock and much more.

Guys I have 1 quick question.

- when a mobo says in specs this: 2400Mhz (OC) for ram. Does it mean that I need to overclock my mobo to support ram sticks with 2400 speed?
