Has anyone had experience with AOpen motherboards? It's coming down to the AOpen SiS 655 board or the Giga-Byte 8SQ800 SiS 655. I've read about the success of the Giga-Byte and the modded BIOSes available for it. It is no doubt a good board. I've also read reviews on the AOpen board at vr-zone and ocworkbench. Both places thought it was a pretty darn good board. The AOpen offers some unique features (check out the AOpen website for details). I'd just like to know if anyone has ever used an AOpen board before and if so what were your experiences with regard to overclocking, reliability, stability, etc?

Aopen boards tend to be stable but they are not known for being overclocking boards, i will personally go for the gigabyte SINXP motherboard it is a great board with loads of features, in our computer lab about every computer is on Aopen motherboard and they run very stable but you do have to keep in mind that in university the motherboard won't go through the torture test we give to it

have heard to stay away from Aopen boards as they were down right crap - but this was just word from others, not my own experiences.
