yea.... i must admit i dont like Gigabyte colors but compared to the intel board, it actually has ALL SIX DDR3 slots.....

and it can run 3-way SLI and CFX, none of the other boards can at the price

ASUS P6T supports SAS drives in RAID though..... judas wanna swap out your 6x seagates for some 15k SAS drives? only uses 2 though....

Re: Core i7 has hit..
Will this mean a price decrease for the current generation cpu's, or is it too early to tell?

Re: Core i7 has hit..
It's true the Gigabyte has the better ram slot configuration and they angled the sata connectors unlike Intel. What was intel thinking?

So how long should us normal folk wait for bugs and the first gen crap to get worked out? I just got a new Q6600 a few months ago but not all that impressed with it and plan on doing a swap in a few months.

Re: Core i7 has hit..
i'm quite impressed with the Q6600 all by itself stock... it's even more amazing overclocked obviously... considering how easy it is to overclock...



it's going to cost me at wholesale price, $486 for the i7 920
