    i would assume this mobo is tri-sli capable, if so awesome, i think i found mine then, i could still use my old x-fi card in there as well BTW, kinda noob still if tri-sli would the cards (gtx280's) be bandwidth starved at all because of running x16, x8, x8?

    I personally dont like the molex connector positioning, or the positioning of the front panel audio header, but I use dedicated sound, so that doesnt bother me as much

    Nice layout too. Much better than alot of the x58 boards I've seen so far.
    The lack of firewire on the i45 was a dissapointment for me, good to see they have added it this time. I'm sure it will be a cracking board.

    Really nice, the best so far.....

    But, was necessary all that metal to cool SB?
    Is there something to do with N200 under that too?

    So far, Gigabyte has the sexiest mainboard.

    is everest reporting it wrong, or the system is working in dual channel mode?
    BTW, the bandwidth looks so poor compared to the CPU's theoretical RAM bandwidth(51GB/s) at such clocks.

    why can't ide and floppy connectors just 'go away' now... not like you can't shove a floppy on a usb if you REALLY want one anyway, and if you're buying cutting edge nehalem, you're prob not looking at ide either...

    thats a fair chunk of space liberated...

    By far the best layout for any of the X58 mobos so far IMO, looks very clean, this would be my choice of X58 without doubt. I also like the 12 phase design and power & reset buttons.

    I always thought floppy is useful for booting up RAID drivers or some such on a windows installation.

    yep, i use a usb stick for that, detects as a floppy drive or you could just use a usb floppy drive... and vista lets you use a regular usb stick anyway. think of the 4watts you'll save by not having one running the whole time hehe.

    and it's a shame but i would of prefered that small pcie slot to be a x4, looks like a x1.
