So here's the big question.....
Do ANY of the BIG mobo makers realize that a 855 full size ATX mobo designed as a POWER system would be a big HIT?

I think they do.... but Intel came and said "hey, don't steal the thunder from our P4 line, we'll let you put 855 on a micro-atx board for silent desktops, but don't make our 855 a P4 killer!
