Then I saw the layout on the second page: Damn what have they done to the ATX connector! haven't they learned how to do it right with all the other previous board. Whats wrong with the memory slots? why have they shifted two of them towards the PCI-E slot. Why not use 90 degree SATA slots on the side of the motherboard? Who invented those damn flimsy ridiculously SATA connectors anyway. Must have been someone who handles fine glass or something other very fragile. Still using 160 year old floppy connector. In 2008 its a waste of space, coper lanes and other resources. I still cannot understand why the hell all manufacturers still insist using it.

as said in the test setup, 2GB DDR2 800MHz at 3-3-3-9-1T timings, where possible
Just wanted to add a warning for all the people who have/consider having this motherboard. Don't go with OCZ memories if you want to overclock - they seem not to like each other very much.
So, guys I need your advice. What would you prefer to buy for use with E7200 and single VGA - P5K Pro or P5K-E\WiFi AP ?
