Thanks for the RAM module page, very useful.

Tell me something, for someone like myself that will air cool this board and also use a single 4870 X2 on it (no SLI or Crossfire), why would I choose this board over the Asus P6T Deluxe? I know this board is hyped more, has a fancier box, more metal heatsink on the board, but other than that, what would be a compelling reason to pay $100 more over the P6T?

I will likely never use SLI, my 4870 X2 is more than capable, so number of PCIe 16X slots is irrelevant to me, nor is the spacing of them. The top black PCIe slot being useless on the R2E is a design error on Asus's behalf, P6T doesn't have this flaw. I've ordered the CPU heatsink, a Noctua U12P SE1366 and will order the same RAM as you.

Any thoughts you have would be useful to see. I also hear there is a V2 version of the P6T Deluxe, which appears it lacks the SAS controller.
