    would you really want a p55 board in 2029?
    think twice about what you wish for! heheh

    id like to see at least 3 16x slots hooked up to the cpu
    yeh you heard me...
    why force people to 1366 to run tri sli/tri xfire? would be annoying to have to maintain 2 systems for benchers...

    It doesn't bother me too much, 2nd Gen PCI-Express 8x offers the same bandwith as 1st gen PCI-E 16x and that is more then enough even for SLI/Crossfire. Unless software SLI/Crossfire is used. The thing that bothers me is the 3rd slot running at 4x which will mean you will see a slight drop in performance.

    have you ever used the x4 pciE 1.1 slot on an x38 or x48 board? resulting xfire perf is worse than with 2 cards iirc

    My point is just i wouldn't have to RMA that board within first year due cpu vrm caps have gone bad
    That happens sometimes even with polymer caps...

    The Os-Cons don't offer anything special over the polymers used on boards (both are 'dry' polymer dielectric types). The failure rates of both are identical when compared to conventional 'wet' electrolytics, it's the same material branded as a Semi-Organic (http://www.inelcohunter.co.uk/OSCON ). Failure rates are reduced mainly due to the fact that the electrolyte dries up in conventional capacitors.

    k... i havent heard of any solid cap failing yet... not a single one actually... what happens when a solid cap fails?

    oh wait, i saw a couple of those asus "super caps" popped
    but besides that... i havent seen any dead solid caps... do they pop like the asus super caps and conventional caps? or they burn? or the board just wont work properly anymore?

    Os-Cons are merely dry organics, just like the caps we see used on most boards these days. They're not the only brand to use organic/dry semi-conductor materials.
