it's it still too early for me to pick any of them.
i will be looking (if at all) for specs that suits my need, not just what looks good, or what everyone else is getting.
i require (in this order) :
an awesome BUS speed
longevity
8 dimm slots (to hold 64gb (8x8 ) )
2x x16 pcie slots (CFx or SLi)
more than 6 sata2/3 ports (preferably 8 or more)
on-board RAID
the colour does not matter - it could be putrid pink and have ALL the above feature requirements, and i wouldn't care which mobo camp made it, or how much it costs.
