As for other 775 boards i don't think that there's a so much better solution out there. Don't tell me about Gigabyte boards, i've had enough of them. My last was a P35-DS4, glad that i got rid of it...
They still can't convince me as oc'ers boards. They've come a long way but still i don't like them. Not to mention the colors
perhaps you are right, I already have my i7 920 cpu & waterblock, just waiting for my ram. Mobo is undecided and I'll need a PSU and case.

I guess I'm just dissapointed with the MIIF in general, maybe I expect to much once I make the jump to i7 any issues with the maximus will be an afterthought.
I have a Gigabyte P35 DS3L for my son's rig, it overclocks ok, got the 8400 to 4.0GHz with little effort. My only gripe with the board is its very particular with ram..
