Wow, why is it removed!?!?1

But the new nforce5 looks promising :)
This whole OC out of the box looks cool too for those who dont know how to OC or are afraid.

That Asus M2N32SLI looks very nice, except for a few minor component locations..
Why do they shove the main power connector right in the middle of the IDE and Floppy connections? That will be a wiring nightmare for smaller, mid-tower cases.

Those connectors won't be used much anyway. You have plenty of SATA connectors. :p

Cool! One problem is the 4-pin +12V connector, which is in a TERRIBLE spot on that board (above the PCI-e slot!). Why can't everyone just copy DFI on this one, like their NF4 boards?

6 SATA default (plus one eSATA on the back) is nice. Big ups to ASUS for the all-passive setup!
