Pci-Ex 2.0 and only 2 SATA III ports? There are Z68 MBs you can get right now for $190 with Pci-Ex 3.0 and 4 SATA III ports, not to mention Smart Response, which boosts system and app performance up to 40%.

Would you expect anymore from a Intel board? The aftermarket boards from Asus and such are LOADED.

And expensive as hell no doubt. IMO MSI is the leading MB brand anymore when you factor in quality, features and price.

From what I've seen so far the consumer level 2011 MBs don't even support octo core, or am I mistaken?

Hmmm, wasn't aware of that, I thought it was only Z68s that did. I'm guessing Z68 is more geared to take full advantage of IB though, and may even handle the BIOS flashing with less problems. Guess we'll see when IB hits. Originally Posted by PP Mguire
