I saw that the asrock p67 board for $150 also uses UEFI. I haven't done much research to learn the changes etc. That board seems to pack alot of freatures for $150... Its the board I am eying for the moment, Although the UD3 is basically $100 at microcenter right now if you get a 2500K. $280 for a 2500k AND UD3... not bad at all..

So does can the P67 overclock the standard 2600? If so that may be the way to go for crunchers, may not get the last few hundred mhz but will have about $30 towards the next cruncher.
