I know for a fact that the SB600 outperforms Intel ICH7R
Uhm,...you do know its everyone that uses alot of copper?
And you do know Intel boards also comes in the "copper light editions"? Just like the P5B Plus I showed you.

Is this a rollercoaster board?

And what would you call this?

5W, no heatsink? Wrong again. In that case no southbridge would have it. And the VIA CPus stillawith a heatsink wouldn´t need it.
