Not sure this is hot. Just noticed that this board is $225 normally has a $35 rebate and you basically get a phenom 9850 free for buying it. Has 4 video card slots which must be what makes it such an expensive motherboard.

I think the real play is to buy the combo, sell the 9850 on ebay or something and buy a phenom 2 haha.

Yeah, I think that's the gist of it. Tempting to go for another quad...very tempting.

There is nothing about the Foxconn DigitaLife A79A-S motherboard that makes it even a remotely worthwhile purchase unless you enjoy buying average but overpriced products. Those of us who aren't looking for a disappointing experience will just keep looking for something worth our money.
