OK, looks like I'm going with the Gigabyte, despite the inexplicable legacy ports. People seem to be having a lot of complaints about the newest DFI nf590 BIOS.
Thanks for the input Richie.
EDIT:
So I bought STALKER in anticipation of having a working PC, but no such luck. So I took it over to my brother's to install it on his slightly less awesome rig.
It's pretty nice. Like Oblivion with guns. ...And a lot more depressing.
Funny thing is, there are people walking around in the game speaking russian, and no subtitles are provided. My brother speaks fluent russian though, so he's getting a kick out of the jokes they're telling each other and such. I think he might buy a copy for himself.

Yeah, I noticed that came out when I was shopping last night, after about two years of delays. I kinda gave up on it after awhile, but I might give it a go once I get a new video card.

I forgot to say, I got the Gigabyte board because of a feature I really like. Dual BIOS chips.
The second ASUS board I got crashed when I tried to update the BIOS. That completely killed the board.
With this Gigabyte board even if that happened there's a redundant BIOS backup on the second chip! No doorstop!

Congradulations.
Thoughts on Vista? I'm not really sold on it at this point.

I won't buy it for a while, I'm just gonna try it out and then reformat and install XP again.
It's nice, but nothing I can't live without.
I'll let you know if my thoughts change.
Here's my desktop...

Ok, I just reformatted the hard drive and installed good ol' XP SP2.
My CPU is running TEN DEGREES COOLER now.
GOD Vista is a resource hog.

I haven't used Winamp for a long, long time. Roughly somewhere around the time everyone in the house (except for me) made a joint effort to delete it...
