I have heard good things about both manufacturers, but I can't decide between two products:

I would get the foxconn if it had more ratings, but I can't just trust one. And the reviews I found on google are varied. With the Gigabyte, I can afford another stick of RAM, and people only seem not to like it because of its "CIA" feature in the bios. I can just turn that off, though. Any opinions?
 
Go with the Gigabyte, I've heard good things about them and the name sounds cooler...
 
Both look like pretty good boards...

I would choose Gigabyte only because I have never had problems with them :)

^not fanboy-ish
 
gigabyte, I have a foxconn and I've already had to RMA it within 6 months of purchase, though in their defense, the rma process was really quick and easy (at least as much as one can be)
 
Wow, lots of responses. Thanks for the solid info. Gigabyte it is. Another question: If the mobo has 4 rear USB ports but 6 onboard USB does that mean it has 4 on the mobo and room for 2 more? Or four on the mobo and room for 6 more? Thanks!
 
I think it means room for 6 more, though I don't really see you using that many anyways. The yellow things by the pci slots are probably either for usb or firewire

It means that there are 4 on the I/O panel but 6 more headers for case USB ports and such.
