@The Sorcerer: We are talking about low-end and mid-range boards here. Which MSI GD55 and GD65 is actually low-end or mid-range? The best mid-range in the Indian market comes up to the G43/G45 boards and some (rarely) GD55s.
As for Biostar, let's just say you will find more than 1 good opinion on the internet and not just more than 1 bad opinion. There are merits and demerits everywhere. In the other thread, as well as this thread, I have seen you trying to pick a bone with me - let me tell you that I do research my facts as well and there's quite a few people who are going to agree with me just as they will with you.
I have never not recommended Gigabyte either, I am just saying whose product I found a better value at what price range given the conditions in the Indian market. And I build a lot of PCs so regular buying is part of my routine here. I do not care what happens internationally. Every company comes up with a dud from time to time. You want to explain what's happening here, for example?

Does that mean Gigabyte sucks? No, it means that every company has issues from time to time. It also depends on the users since you can clearly see in the thread that some have absolutely no issues while others seem to be having some.
Yes, I ignored Intel's motherboards, because regardless of quality - if it's not an extreme series motherboard you (in general) simply aren't getting the same features per currency value paid compared to some other brands. The extreme series boards are good and I have no issues with theme.
And in other posts, I have talked about MSI's poorer quality VRMs. Yes it is true, but still, given the features vs. the price, it remains a decent option if you cannot find another brand that suits your needs at that price.
At this point I have nothing more to say to you, because in things like this, experience and subjective opinions matter, not whom I have an axe to grind with.
I have nothing more to say on this. My opinion is out there and so is yours, as well as hundreds of others. People can make their choice.
