Thinking about pulling the trigger on an i7 920 preorder...
So what are the differences between the two Asus X58 motherboards, the P6T Deluxe and the P6T Deluxe OC PALM? The descriptions on the site aren't directly comparable, and Google searches aren't helping me...everything seems to be an OC PALM, although they just refer to it as a P6T Deluxe in most cases.
From what I can tell, the OC PALM has two more USB and SATA ports (eight vs. six), and that external LCD thingie that means nothing to me. Are there other differences I'm not seeing?
Another question on the return policy: 14 days to determine an item is defective seems a little short to me (e.g. I just had a TT PSU die on me after 28 days), but even more in this case since it would be impossible to determine whether the part is defective until the CPU itself arrives. If the MB ships immediately and the CPU cannot ship until later in November...well, you see the problem, I'm sure. Any leeway on that 14 days with regard to preorders of an X58 purchased with an i7 preorder, given that a defective MB cannot be identified until the i7 CPU is in hand?
