So nedless to say i am pretty mad as intel is jipping my friend of his nanometers, so now his cpu will not be as good as my q6600, which is bad. Intel used to give people like a whole 130 nanometers but lately they are being very stingy and are not giving us their nanometers so our cpu's are not as good.

/that first pcie x1 looks a little endangered....

and one pci regular slot. LoL

Remove one of the x1 slots and spread things out a bit.
I wanna see a few gpus sitting on that, safely (with space for ln2 pots or what-have-you)
etc.

I don't mind the colors, if it can take the heat! ( metaphor for high performance, not actual heat.)

I think...

When are motherboards going to start having the USB and front panel connectors towards the top and/or right side of the motherboard? I hate having this crappy cables going all the way around a mobo or to the bottom of it..

If the color scheme impacted performance, then I'd care. When you're gaming, you don't pause the game to then peek inside your computer anyway.

MSI is really bad...at every new board I saw lately, for the first 30 seconds of watching layout you could see some strange design, in negative sense..

I liked Giga sometimes, but ASUS is now my favourite now...
Gigabyte started to make those inaccesible ports and slots...Do they test them I sometimes ask myself...Also they ignore all the complaints on fuzzy design, and high vDrop...

Asus has perfect arrangement of slots and connectors, on their P45 boards especcially... some free PCI slots, memory close to NB, all Sata accesible, IO great, and the sinks looks so sexy....
Just look at P5q-e, deluxe, p5q3, or any other...
