The Pros:Good phone support that is helpful during setup. Runs consistent and stable once you get it working. Supports faster components to enable a hardcore gaming setup.
The Cons:Some compatibility issues that aren't well documented. Uses a quirky memory configuration that causes crashes if you don't use the right slot.
The Gigabyte GA-H55M-USB3 is a low-cost motherboard that supports the LGA1156 Intel CPU format. This is similar to the Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H, but has added support for up to 2 USB 3.0 ports, which are capable of transfer rates of up to 10 times the speed of a USB 2.0 connection.
