same here. $200 for integrated x-fi and a p35 based board....wow.

And don't forget the Swiftech soutions. That caught my attention real quick!

i have a meeting with them at computex and the sample is already organized for after computex

Yessssss!

I hate when they run pci slots right next to the PCI-e when we all know most video cards take two slots.

but what are you gonna use this pci slot for? it already has a integrated X-fi 7.1 sound card, what else do you need?
I can only think of a tv turner, but i do agree with you when it comes with the other mb

well, if you're short on usb ports (usually never now) it's usually pci. i haven't seen a pci x1 usb/firewire expansion slot (idk what it's called, just the thing that plugs into the pci port and has usb/firewire on the back)

newegg carries a few types of pci express 1x to usb, usb/firewire, and firewire. Ranging from $30 (for usb only), $45 (firewire only) or $40+ for usb/firewire combo cards. Granted they are more expensive, we've all seen the $12-$15 pci variants, but its hard to say these are unaffordable. Anyone who has a top notch rig where their dual slot giant video cards are taking up their pci slots would surely swing $40 if they really needed it, but most premium boards offer 2-3 USB and 1-2 firewire ports on board, in addition to whats offered on the io panel. You can even get pci express 1x SATA and Ethernet cards for pretty decent prices these days.

its catching on, but its certainly not the buffet of choices you have with PCI.

my board has 8 usb2,+2 firewire(useless) and 1 e-sata.

my board has two of the pci's stupidly right twixt the two pci-x 16/4 slots.why do they put them there fgs.

my PCI cards are - wireless network, gigabit network (onboard is wonky at times) TV tuner, SATA card (for troubleshooting onboard/extra SATA ports) and sound cards.

SO really, on that mobo... TV tuner (in HTPC anyway) and... well thats it. awesome

If they release them in blighty that is, i hope they do this looks like it will be good (if they can write a good bios that is)
