There are a few Mobo from Gigabyte that is made for Socket A 
(Duron/Thunderbird), and Slot A (Athlons)
for Socket A from Gigabyte would be GA-7IXE4 
<http://www.giga-byte.com/products/7ixe4.htm> but it rather sucks 
compared to the Abit KT7-100, or the asus one

For Intel system i love using Gigabyte mobo, they are the most stable 
for Intel system, but for AMD Abit mobo are the most fun, and fastest, 
but for stability ASUS for AMD are the best combo (A7V)

as you might have noticed, i didn't even to bother talking much about 
the Slot A mobos, cuz AMD are not going to release any more Slot A cpus, 
since it slows down the cpu a bit, the Thunderbirds (newer Athlons) 
works on the Socket A and on Slot A, but using Slot A, you need to buy 
the extra adapter, which back to the same old dilema, makes the system 
more vulnerable to crash, just like P3 Core on a slotket board on a slot 1.
