let face it guys intel will give up on 775 by end of first quarter 09 so the boards will already out or coming before newyear. Which will take all the good parts from every board and make the q9xxx fly just as high as the i7 is now if not better then the i7 will wipe the floor as all intels new chips do. But no good gaming chips coming any time soon this is the best of the q9's period. Keep up the good work guys
