Anyway the fact is Giga-byte IMO would not accuse another company unless they had good evidence. If you ask me it looks like they have done their homework. Also if I was to be honest I find Asus to be a dodgy cowboy outfit anyway.

I've never had an issue with my Asus bioses. At least the non beta ones always work for me. I've been using asus in my last few builds an love them, put a gigabyte in my HTPC and it works great as well. Solid boards IMO.
