And it's not anything special to boost... I would rather save money and wait for the board with PCI-e 3.0, or USB 3.0, or Sata 3 (6 Gb/s) for that matter. Plus at that time ATi 5780 would be even cheaper so imagine 3 or more of those in Crosfire ^^

Seems totally overkill, and then again sorry to mention this again after Nvidia's rebranding I'm having a hard time looking at anything Nvidia related. What is this 285GTX really a rebranded GeForce 10k?

Why the hell would you use the onboard audio if you spent 500 bucks on a motherboard?

I bet GTA4 will only manage 30 with all these cards in SLI.

Give me MSI's Big Bang Fuzion over this please. I want to tinker with the Hydra chip!
On that note, two of their marketing team told me they were working hard on getting some press releases done just before Christmas; looking at upcoming conventions: Fuzion on display at CES? I SURE HOPE SO

1) There is onboard audio, take a closer peek, 2) Those are all PCIe slots for video cards, so unless someone's released a sound card that needs that kind of bandwidth there is no spot for an external sound card. Either that or PCI cards work in PCIe.....in which case..I didn't know that. |

One question remains, does the power plant have enough juice to power 4 Fermi cards?

Pardon my ignorance, but can't you use the larger PCIe interface, only using a small portion of it?

Me neither (as of yet) though I have been looking into it, specifically on my last motherboard that had two PCI-E x8 slots (or a single x16) but no x1 slot. I was going to get a PCI-E soundcard and worried whether or not it would work in a full-size slot.
In the end I replaced the board before I got around to buying the SPU, so it didn't matter anyway. My Asus P5K has got two x8 (or, again, a single x16) and a x1 dedicated for modems/audio.
