P7P55D Premium In Da House

Somebody ban this n00b troll please.

hahaha

Thanks for clarifying exactly what I was asking...

Let me state it yet again:

1) Does my Marvell SAS Controller on my ASUS Revolution board get limited by it's link with the PCIe 2.0 x1 lane, as the SATA-3 one does at the P55 board?

2) Why didn't they wait for PCI Express 3.0, which will deliver a 1 GB/sec transfer rate, but prefered to combine 4x PCIe 1.1 x1 (250MB/sec each) lanes to a 1x PCIe 2.0 x1 lane of 500MB/sec, not only limiting the SATA3 controller but also doing something useless, since there is no SATA3 drive on the market yet?

edit: I just saw btarunr's post - as I recall, Marvell had PCI-Express 3.0 in their early specs for this controller. So, if they really made an early PCI-Express 2.0 one (people in the industry told me that the controllers are not fully ready yet), it seems like they rushed things a bit. It is lame to give the customers a SATA3 controller which limits the SATA3 bandwidth...
