Nice "flashy" looking board but realistically, it would cost so much I would need to shoot myself in the foot and cash out some health insurance just so I could get it lol.
TBH as much as I would like this I'll probably give it a miss and go stright for the inevitibly revised P57 version.
That said the EVGA P55 board looks very tasty, albeit with a stupid slot layout (and probably a stupid price too). Why optimise for tri-sli when its pointless?

Now thats how heatsinks should be handled. Cant see an NF200 on there, but even then, I've yet too see a convincing argument for more then 2 gfx cards (even with full x16) outside of folding.
yeah evga don't mess around.. I've bought them over asus just for the warranty- look at the mosfet heatsink lol it's almost an inside joke- we used to have alot of drama surrounding mosfet cooling when foxconn was using this pink stuff under the sinks in the older boards and half the time you popped them off and there was a couple mosfets that were'nt even touching giving no heat transfer whatsoever..
memory was frying left and right :D and you had alot of guys who don't re-do their tims rma like 5-6 times.. the evga board doesn't look as silly as that asus p55 either
NF200 currently doesn't work with it iirc and afaik Nvidia has no plans to adapt it since it's already making money out of SLI licenses.
Bindi, MSI has at least 2 boards for LGA1156: g7p55-dc and g9p55-dc. The latter has a NF200 (or similar) in it and says in the description "Hardware 3-way SLI", according to http://en.inpai.com.cn/doc/enshowcont.asp?id=6116. :o
Haven't payed attention to intel in quite a while myself, but it looks damned expensive and limited (dual channel ddr3 and no tri sli?) to me. Would i be mad just building myself an i7 920 rig now?

There is no tri-SLI option for P55
The GD-70 and the M4A89-T is way too expensive.
And someone should punch Asus for making such a random names for all their motherboards.
Someone did not tell EVGA. :)

EVGA told me. The third slot is being classed as a PhysX/CUDA slot only.

lol I went to see all these new i5 mobo's and i5 gaming benchmarks ffs, I'm going insane in my chair lol.
September sorry.

:D I wonder why evga would do that.. they are like nvidias ballsacks in the industry- but msi is going to offer it? weird stuff
