    Nice! but what happened to Dual LAN 780i should have? I hope its stability and reliability are NOT on Striker or P5N32-E levels.

    Hey I have absolutely no issues with my P5n32-E... Although I must admit when first getting used to the board it is easy to make not POST. And it was only fine after replacing the useless heatpipe solution.

    I think this looks good. Yer what did happen to dual LAN? The cooling looks slightly better to.. although i wish they would get rid of heatpiping altogether.

    I had 3 P5N32-Es and it was good board, but there was no good bios for it And lots of memory wouldn't work (Patriot LLKs for example); I hope 780i is free of those bugs.

    If they released a "workstation" board with this chipset, would it be named P5WN-T? (sounds best if that "-" is removed )

    yup.

    AFAIK, 790I has that built into the NB, so should be slightly more elegant.

    looks like there is plenty of room between the two blue pci-e slots

    Asus should replace the yellow slots for blue or white, I think the majority of people don't need dual LAN which is why its gone

    This still doesn't look like it solves the issue of tri-sli and having a soundcard.

    I suppose it would be possible with only the GT, since it is single slot. But it does elimate the idea of waterblocks or any dual-slot cooling setups.

    Hmmm...I'd much rather have 790i since it won't have the stupid PCIe 2.0 bridge...

    Not bad, I'll wait for the 790 or Intel's offering though. I think the layout is decent. I still want 8 sata ports, however.

    wow, theres literally no option for a sound card in that board, if you choose SLI.
