    Hmmm- its only got two USB 2.0 ports, no adaptor modules, only two PCI 2.1 slots. Sure it has both PCI express and AGP, but they seem to have cut some serious corners with everything else on the mobo.

    I think I'll hang on for Asus's offering......

    Yep exactly, it is good for people not wanting to spend LOADS on a new 775 system, but i tink i would rather go total pci express due to much better graphics preformance

    As for that mobo i would rather do the whole lot and get a proper 915 mobo pci express than that one

    There is no performance increase with PCI Express.

    as it stands pci-ex is not worth buying a new card and board for.
