Both are good boards. If you need 4gb ram then the ASUS is the only choice. I have heard of some troubles with the OC 1333 FSB.

I would personally go with the Gigabyte. Only 2gb ram, but slightly better audio, and gigabit ethernet.

These boards are best with the 800 front side bus processors, such as the E2XXX and E4XXX series. The older Core2Duo 1066 FSB processors are overpriced, and they will not run a quad core.

If you wanted a 1333 FSB, one of these would be a better bet. Better on board video also. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2000200280%20107172317&bop=And&Order=PRICE&CompareItemList=N82E16813128078%2CN82E16813131197
