It depends on the chipset and the features you get. All manufacturers have high end gaming boards with lot of extras and low end budget boards. Therefore you can’t just ask what is the best board based on the brand name.In general, Intel motherboards are ok, but they are not the best in terms of features or price, usually Intel motherboards give the bare minimum and you have to pay a premium for the brand. Perhaps they have less compatibility issues, but you'll get lot more from 3rd party manufacturers.  I personally prefer Asus, but Gigabyte, MSI they are all more or less the same. Pick few boards then read some online reviews, that is how I normally choose. Chipset is the most important thing, then only you should consider the brand. As for Quad core chipsets: P35 < P45 < X38 < X48 (X series is too expensive and IMO not worth the money unless you are an extreme gamer)United as in collaborating / partners ? There was some talk about a joint venture few years back, but I don't think they went ahead with it . No mention about a joint venture in any of the Wikipedia sites, however there is some news <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/25/asustek-gigabyte-call-off-joint-venture/" target="_blank">on a falling out</a>.</blockquote>
