6 M.2 slots? How?

I can easily see how to allocate 5 of them. Where is the sixth?

Maybe they are also counting the Wifi M.2 slot in that number - it doesn't list that they are all x4 lane slots...

Not in this news article, no, but in their website it explicitly mentions the 1x 5.0 and 5x 4.0 M.2, with the WiFi slot on its own.

DP 2.1 at that, better than most graphics cards.

No, it's as per above, x8x4x4, all from the CPU.

Keep in mind that it's the PR/marketing and web teams prepping the product pages. Loads of errors across all the brands. Gigabyte put PCIe 3.0 on loads of products, when the chipset is all PCIe 4.0.

I love seeing Biostar motherboard releases - it reminds of what things would be like at the bottom end of the PC market if ECS and PC-Chips still were about peddling their wares...

there are high speed NICs with additional M.2 slot so that x8x4x4 is quite useful way to add both a fast network capability with additional controllers via M.2 slot.
