Another random thought, why no EVGA P67's? Did I miss some sort of news about EVGA not making mobos anymore? Edit nm, http://www.evga.com/articles/00604/ they just are late to launch it seems.

I do have a question regarding the Asus P67's. Why is the Intel nic considered an advantage vs Realtek, is there really that much of a difference in the nic?
EVGA has a full line of P67 boards. They've just not been released yet.

As I mentioned in another thread, the one thing I like about the ASUS boards is that they use UEFI. This is the future. The traditional BIOS which is something like 25 years old now, is on its way out finally. It's somewhat embarrassing because Intel developed EFI awhile back and Apple adopted it long before any of the big name Intel board makers.
