    Honestly, it isn't that suprising, it's an attempt to hit slightly more of the market, adding 775 mounting hardware support does make sense, less spending on new parts
    Current System:
    eVGA 680i SLi "A2" P30 BIOS
    intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (currently at stock)
    OCZ ReaperX 4GB DDR2 1000 (running at DDR2 800 Speeds with cas4)
    320GB Seagate 7200.10
    XFX 8800GT XXX 512MB (stock clocks)
    auzentech X-Fi Prelude
    PC Power and Cooling Silencer 750 Quad Copper
    Win XP Pro

    getting copied is a compliment i guess, but somebody making money and getting credits for your ideas is kinda annoying :P
    most of the ideas shamino came up with here at foxconn are already copied by asus, if i were him id be pretty annoyed about that...
    they even copied the quantum force logo in their latest ad...

    I wouldn't say Asus copied anything, Asus has always listened to what the customer wanted and they most likely had enough requests for it so the implemented into their boards.
