I can understand some of the manufacturers not being too quick to add these to their mobo range, but this step from Gigabyte is good in 2 ways for me.

1stly it signifies their commintment to the amd platform is strong, whilst including my 2nd favor - which is, new tech for the Intel ranges is being quickly supplied on the amd side of things which gives me the +ve feeling about the mobos.

Maybe hard to explain, but I felt during the am2 transition, some of the mobo tech that the Intel mobos were enjoying didn't seem to carry through to the amd mobos.

I think it's good, some1 has to start putting these on their boards first

Well the problem I see is, if you get one of these mobo's, you'll have upgraded it again by the time there are many USB3 or SATA6gbps devices out...

True you may upgrade but then again if you dont your set to use them, which is good you have a future proof device :], i love gigabyte for thinking ahead, but i think ill wait for more stuff to come out instead of buying one now.
