I really like the follow up articles that you are doing with the latest motherboard reviews. What the Foxconn has over most of the other P35 motherboards is a perfect layout. 3 PCI slots are still needed for some of us. And not one of them being blocked by an 8800GTX. TV Tuner Cards, Sound Cards, Raid Cards etc still need PCI. The Abit IP35-Pro looks good too, but one of the other tech sites found the firewire only got 17mb/sec transfer rate http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2007/07/12/abit_i...">http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2007/07/12/abit_i.... I do a lot of video work and this is unacceptable. Capturing video at this tranfer rate would be problematic. Foxconn has my vote for offering the best layout for any new motherboard for anyone that only needs one graphics card and likes to have the media center experience with high-end sound. I can only hope that the new 45nm quad cores this spring overclock as well as the Q6600 does in your article. Then I will buy one of these Foxconn boards and finally get rid of my Northwood system. Looking foward to playing some of the new games out there at high resolutions instead of a slide show.
I am wondering the same thing as well! I am currently picking parts for a new build and the mobo and case has been the two parts I cannot decide on for the life of me. Anyone have any recommendations? Will be OCing a 6750 C2D cpu with 2x1GB of Ballistix DDR2800. I want a big roomy case, I like the CM stacker 832.
