1.) screw the soltek, it's a VIA and only has 2 dimms as kryonexus said..

2.) the chaintech only has 5.1 channel audio

3.) the gigabyte has 8 channel audio and supports 1gb more ram..

4.) buy the gigabyte :P

I would buy the gigabyte as well, if for no other reason, they have a better reputation :)

yeah, i vote the gigabyte too, seeing as i just bought the same board. so far, so good, other than the fact that it only has two 3-pin fan headers on the board. i havent fully toyed with it, but so far, overclocking seems to be going well, although im sure at this point that is the least of your worries.

I've never had a Gigabyte before, but my son has and he's happy with it. If it were me, I'd go with a Abit board.......... :shock: But I take it you're going socket 754. I'm going socket 939 soon I hope.
