Hmm, but what if you are on an asus etc. mobo.

Can't have it all tbh, have to keep them as generic as possible

Then use the chipset tbh.. Asus P5K-e uses the Intel P35 chip And 680i nVidia chipset etc...

good idea, nice as usual brooks.

Well seeing as the hosts are even entertaining this (most would just "pffft - our board, no way!"), we gotta think about how it looks atm - which is pretty kewl, not cluttered in appearance, and does what it needs to do. It`s pretty tidy and with the overall appearance to the site, doesn`t look tacky.

What I don`t think we should be doing here is bang on about having a whole list of all kinds of descriptors, or slots for them I should be saying. Turning a simple request into a demand for like another 8 slots that`ll make it go from good to silly.

I`d personally be happy for them to trial maybe another 2 in addition to the cpu/gpu ones that are there, but perhaps make the new 2 non-topical. - What I mean by that is, group all the ones suggested or submitted into 1 pool and the 2 new slots will allow u to choose from the whole list. Perhaps include the existing cpu & gpu ones for those people having 2 pcs+ or whatever.

I dunno, would 4, 6, 8 look silly ? Don`t even know if it`s doable tbh.

I agree, about 8 which just ruin where the avatar stands etc.. Will stretch the users post and just make it look tacky.. Trial an extra two and see what happens

I think 3 slots would be ok, 4 might be a little crowded but could work. Any more than that would just be silly.

We can try 4 is we can and see how that goes...all slots optional and you can choose from any in the list (we can play spot the fanboys )
