B85M vs H81M vs H87

There is some information wrong on that wiki page, try this link instead:

http://ark.intel.com/compare/75016,75019,75010,75007,75004,75013

(To Insert_Nickname, I don't want to appear that I am disrespecting your post either in any form. I just found the information displayed was incorrect)

I compared both tables but didn't see anything wrong on the wiki page?

Anyway, the difference is mainly in the number of ram slots and sata and usb ports. Also, H81 only supports pci-e 2.0 on the main pci-e x16 slot while B85 and H87 support pci-e 3.0.
 
Cheapo H81 boards at least offers USB3.0 at the back panel, 2x 3.0 and 2x 2.0 SATA ports, PCI-E 16x 2.0 slot and unofficial K CPU overclocking.

IMO it's very hard to see how many people need anything more even for a gaming rig; 2x DIMMs today also isn't as crippling either like in the DDR/DDR2 days when affordable 8GB DDR3 sticks exist.

4 DIMMs do provide an easy upgrade path, but 8GB should be enough for the next few years. If you run a discrete card, just use a single 8GB DIMM, so you have an easy upgrade. The exception is if you use the IGP, they are best when used with dual-channel...
