Its meant to be an all out ocer and usually those people have $$$ for 4870x2s to bench with etc....

Personally I will stick with the board I got. More PCIe slots, Pretty much the same overclocking performance.

I think it will be one of the better if not best AM3 790 series, but i believe it will be one of the last to be released, too. Like ChrisB17 mentioned, 890 series is just around the corner so it is a bit late. Ill hold out for a 890 chipset.

I'm patient, i swear.

I remember reading it being around $200. To be competitive it better not be any more than that.
