You mean in addition to the overclocking and ACC stuff?

Is this the "big secret" you mentioned but couldn't talk about?

================================================

MY GUESS #1:
It has a built in hardware IOP for RAID and not just the normal software raid like most motherboards?

That would be VERY nice. Of course hardware IOP usually isn't as FAST as software on some benchmarks... although it has much less contention... so it would be GREAT anyway. Due to benchmark results most people wouldn't understand WHY it is better. The main benefits of hardware IOP are not something you can measure. EVEN BETTER would be if it came with hardware IOP that completely mimiced a normal drive so you wouldn't need any drivers.

MY GUESS #2:
A NEW type of crossfire... compatible with the 4xxx video cards but using a completely different method that is going to WIPE OUT Nvidia. (Or even updates to crossfire that allow for power reduction.)

MY GUESS #3:
Each SB750 comes with a built in single cup coffee maker.
