Hmmm I might try one just for giggles. I'm not a Gigabyte fan at all, in fact I go out of my way not to buy their kit, but I'm really tired of waiting for these stupid Asus Maximus V products which just seem like smoke and mirrors at the moment.

You never know, it might refresh my interest in the Gigabyte brand.

I've heard the MVF will be landing this Friday and be available next week.
 
Andrew, you wanna give your Asus reps a kick up the ar53. Tell them 'less tablets and more mobos please' and that you're doubling your Gigabyte order to compensate. Bunch of slackers.
 
Do love the look of the UP5 but price is a bit high for me still :(. Oh well, I get paid soon so might get it alongside an mSata drive for steam! :D.
Am surprised that only Gigabyte seem to do Dualbios, after having had bios problems before I now only get boards with this feature as is saves sooo much hassle when an OC or upgrade goes wrong.
