Thats one sweet looking board IMO. I'm waiting on the ASUS A8R-MVP for my new build myself, but the Sapphire is tempting.

I say wait for ABIT AT8.

That ABIT board does look nice board, but its going to be hard to beat the ASUS for price I think. In any event, they're not out yet, and its going to be harder to pass on some of these boards as they start hitting retail. I've gone long enough without overclocking my Main PC 🙂

$169.00 😕 With all the proven and stable nForce4 Ultra boards around for ~$100.00, I'd pay $110 tops for this board and the $10 over the C-note is for the HD audio. Good to see it finally arrived though.

Is there a typo in the specs ?

On sapphires site and also listed on newegg it claims that board has 3 pci slots but i am only seeing 2. Am I blind ?

I think you're right, looks like 1 PCIe x16, 2 PCIe x1 and 2 PCI to me as well.

Isn't PCIE also claimed among the PCI?
Sales dept is probably strettcchhiinng the truth.

Its about time it became available! This is a extremely tempting motherboard. I'll put this in my next Athlon 64 rig, if and when I make it.

Heh, If that is the case, then my respect for sapphire just dropped a notch.
