Gigabyte UD7 is this any good compared to this?

Gigabyte HybridEFI is the worst EFI implementation anywhere, hands down. I would avoid buying a new Gigabyte board with "dual bios" an "hybrid EFI" for that reason alone. It'll work ok if you only run a single install of Windows and only use the default setup, but anything else is asking for trouble.Get the Asus.

both are good choices, they make up for with 4GB excellent times 4 4 4 2, if your motherboard supports 8GB, it would be better to take advantage to the fullest !!!

The U100 is upgradeable to 2gig memory and has more wireless capability, incl bluetooth. I want the memory for photo editing. After I purchased this little puppy, I dumped my new entertainment pc and desktop. I found that I just kept reaching for the U100. I had evaluated the Asus HE and the Samsung. Both weighed more, and the Samsung cost a lot more. I am quad booting this with XP, OSX, Linux, and Windows 7 so that I can test my web site on several platforms. What a solid, well-designed little machine! The keyboard and speaker issues are minor compared to the tremendous value and flexibility of this laptop, and are easily dealt with.

There are a few things, best thing is go to asus website where you can compare different models. Hope this helps. Excellent board I must say.

I got mine used from an owner that used it for heavy mining and gaming, and it has been cool and quiet. It's exhibited no artifacts, so I'd say it's reliable. The MSI version in particular has solid build quality.

I think that you should take the best value i.e. performance to money. I have taken the Crucial RAM & mSATA SSD components. Please note the RAM should be Low Power DDR3L i.e. operates on 1.35V.

On the package it says it is Windows 8 ready. But, I would double-check at the Gigabyte website.

This is a high end card. I looked at the the FTW version of this card before buying the windforce GHZ model. The GHZ gigabyte model has a better overclock and comes with a back plate. It also runs very quite under load and I have been very happy with it so far. Considering buying a second for sli right now. The only real step up currently available is the Gigabyte 780 Ti GHZ edition if you can find it in stock anywhere and it will cost you about $200 more.

I would check Gigabyte's website or ask it on Tom's Hardware forum. They know everything!

I would bother with uhs1 cards just go for a 32gb extreme pro UHS 3. It's faster and more reliable with bursts

Go to the Gigabyte website, do a model comparison... http://www.gigabyte.us/products/comparison

Gigabyte 6670 doesn't exist I'm guessing it is Raedon HD6670 that you are referring to and yes this card is slightly better than that according to: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp[]=1432&cmp[]=96

I did a lot of research on that before purchasing and found out that the 500GB runs at 7200 RPM while the 1GB runs at 5400RPM.Hope that helps!

Both boards are awesome, and come from solid manufacturers. RMA policies for both are great (albeit slow sometimes). It really boils down to price and application. The GA board has 6x SATA connectors and WiFi while the Asus has 4x SATA connectors and no WiFi. The Gigabyte also has Dual LAN (one Intel, one Atheros). The Asus supports DDR3 3200 while the Gigabyte only supports DDR3 3100. The Asus appears to have better heatsinks on the power devices which is typically better for overclocking. The Asus also has an M.2 slot, which isn't a big deal unless you really plan on using it. When I built my rig I went with the Gigabyte for its feature-set and price point and couldn't be happier.

I am interested in the same: what brand to upgrade to for 2X2gb; also, in what aspects did you notice an improvement?
