-Deep breaths- OMG OMG OMG, my fave board is back.. and with a new look...

-Saves money-

 

[Luigi]

Is there really any point? nehalem will be out soon...

 

[PP Mguire]

You really gonna spend that much on a new cpu, board and DDR?

 

[Luigi]

Well its better than spending loads on a soon to be outdated socket.

Well its better than spending loads on a soon to be outdated socket.

Depends if the cpus that are planned to drop into it are that much better really.

If the Q9450 was a new socket, I`d stay 775 and get a Q6600.

 

[Luigi]

so would i, but theres a much bigger difference...

 

[PP Mguire]

How do you know? They arent even out yet

No one remember ECS's "Top Hat" BIOS from 3 years ago?

Exactly the same thing...

Looks great. Hope it performs as good as other ROG mb's. It looks like it's going to be a big alternative(competitor) to the Rampage/x48 mb, if the price and performance is right.

After the succes I had with the maximus and rampage( yes i change motherboards like underpanths ) I am really looking forward to this board, besides this board looks very sexy :worship:
