N680-ILT and N680-ISH9

[Altgr0160]

So I'm going to buy a new PC and I'm following Guru3d's PC Buyer's Guide. It says I should get me a NFORCE 680 LT SLI (http://www.guru3d.com/article/pcbuyguide/434/2/). So I go and check at www.abyss.es which is a spanish store (I live in Madrid). And they list 2 products:

INTEL XFX MB-N680-ILT (http://www.abyss.es/w06/productos/ficha.asp?CODIGO=MBN680ILT&CODIGOSUP=11180304&rastrillo=0)

INTEL XFX MB-N680-ISH9 (http://www.abyss.es/w06/productos/ficha.asp?CODIGO=MBN680ISH9&CODIGOSUP=11180304&rastrillo=0)

I'm have read all the technical specs, but I just don't understand enough to see the difference. I was hoping somebody could point me to the right direction. Thanks!

the 680i has 3 PCIe ports where the LT one has 2.
I guess the third one can be used for a new PCIe card even though there aren't much out on the market today.
Or for what they call Havok which again is not really supported on the market yet, where you will have a third PCIe card to do your in game physics, like what the Ageai physics is doing right now.
I wouldn't really bet on that right now though since it doesn't seem to go no where as of right now.
The LT has only one onboard LAN but the 680i has Dual LAN.
And the LT has less USB 2.0 ports then the normal 680i.
That should conver the difference between both boards.
