-i personally have had to RMA my sli-dr twice, once for a "blown" chipset, other time DFI wouldnt tell me what was wrong with it, but sent the same board back "fixed"
-many, many quirks, too many to list, such as odd startups for no reason, settings not getting remebered,...sometimes video will not display, must unplug USB in order to boot etc.
-rediculous amount of beta bioses, with three bios revisions for every release, some bios revisions and certain settings can destroy your CPU, be warned.
-its not a beginners board, but if you get it set up right it is the fastest, and be prepared for extremely SLOW and POOR RMA service should you need it, which there is a moderate chance you will.
-dfi street moderaters are idiots, period...imagine white guys talking like gangsters giving you rediclous solutions filled with ghetto speak and useless propaganda.
-oh yeah resetting the cmos, which you will be doing ALOT, and reflashing your bios requires ten minutes on your hands kness, popping the battery out, discharging the power, making 2 cups of coffee and praying to the gods while doing a rain dance.
seriously it take a good 10 minutes to do it "properly".
