That's a huge plus to me and offsets the $450.00 price of the boards I have for the 2 clovertown systems.( Supermicro X7DAE and SM X7DAL-E)
I like the dual 1207/F mobo's but it's hard to go that direction if you know Intel has the better product atm... Chances are a single Q6600 outperforms a dual FX72 setup.... at half the price..
