lol. Seriously, with all of the Asus problems going around I think they have been minimized a bit. I haven't been too keen on Abit quality for a while. ECS is out of the question. there aren't too many left. When I met with DFI in vegas they had great boards. Good components, well cooled, the external audio was nice. I haven't reviewed them personally, but they seem good. |

Whoa. That must be one of the first times I've seen a socket 754 with PCI-E capabilities. That's cool though - I thought S754 users were stuck with the existing technologies
