Looks like a really decent board, so I may have to rethink my next update...
The I/O shield is something I've only seen with server boards so far; it's nice to finally see it in desktop boards.
and hear was me thinking a nice cheap p35 would do me... the embed linux is an awesome idea with a lot of potential.... could this be community modded for more features
looks very good, it's for the riches with an extra 200 to drop on a memory.
and i love your labeling of everything on second page. that's what a buyer would like to know!
what will be the real deal is yet to come: ROG boards. those are the real boards us, gamers (i assume post on this forum are), will buy (if we are loaded)

will there be a next generation ati graphics card coming out soon? i would hate to buy the 2900 now and find out 2 weeks later a new one came out, does anyone know?, thanks
well..there are pictures making their rounds on the web about the 2950 cards... but.. the release date is just speculation and the ones in the know are under nda.
I'm kind of out of touch given that my last high-end board was i875, but I realy don't get the point of bundling in all this junk. I might want to go for the X38 premium ofver P35, but I'll have my own sound card, wifi and whatnot, thank you.
Surely there's a market for something more streamlined?

Less than £260 :)
What does it lose?
When will we see a response from Nvidia so that those of us who want SLi can get in the game?

because heatpipes are the flavor of the month
Noise :P No one wants 40mm screamers in a system.
Board goes on sale next week or so.
I tried SLI, but it didn't work :( Nvidia response is soon-ish, for DDR2 at least.
As for installing your own stuff - I looked but there's no option stick stuff on the linux module.

i've now got my eyes on one of those, and the processor after Penryn, plus a next genre graphics card. :)
