Ouch, my new board went up $25.00 at Newegg.com since I bought it two weeks
ago. I just knew it was going to be a hot item but never expected it to go
up by that much.

It is pricey but extremely well made, completely stable and future proofed
for the 6 core CPU's coming out along with the addition of USB3.0 and
SATA6.0. It will take three graphics cards but I will not touch that with a
ten foot pole. I will be buying another one and doing another complete
build very soon since my wife wants a new computer and she just got a new
Dell laptop. Whatever!

That's a killer gaming board. Very pricey! At that price it should have
a lifetime warranty. I think the more expensive XFX boards have a
lifetime warranty.

*Wrong*. It is the future. Most all modern MOBO's have *two* graphic
slots already now anyway. So this one has three. Big deal. Its got tons of
everything that is why I said it was kind of future proof.

Just wait and see the DAW builders all start building with this when it
comes down in price a bit.
The ASUS P6T is what many DAW builders are using for the i7920 and it is
only $20.00 less and isn't even near the performance, stability and feature
set of this MOBO.

EVGA has a lifetime warranty on some of their graphics cards. I have never
seen a motherboard with a lifetime warranty though. Wow!!!

Intel was LATE in the game offering Crossfire and SLi. You could buy
the AMD equivalent of 3 to 4 PCIe slots 2 years ago. SLI was "standard"
on AMD boards with nVidia chipsets. To get anything like that in Intel
boards you had to forgo Intel chipsets.

What you think is the future is mainstream. Gamers are what the
hardware industry revolver around. All boards are designed for the gamer.

I doubt it. The 1156 socket is more popular and those boards no longer
need a northbridge or southbridge chip. When it comes down in price
that means something out there is better for less.

I really don't look to "DAW" builders as some sort of authority on the
best hardware. They have no influence on what I buy.

EVGA offer lifetime warranty on their high end boards.
