Pro also has a C-media 5.1 sound chip, support of up to 10 USB ports, and reconfigured rear IO ports with 1 serial and 4 USB ports (as opposed to the standard IO configuration of 2 serial and 2 USB)

Apart from the above mentioned (USB2.0, sound, etc.) I believe it comes in a purple color

I thought the "Pro" board was for professionals, so I just bought the regular board instead.

Hmm that`s wrong, it has

C-Media CMI9738/4CH AC'97 CODEC
2 Channel

Link. .I`m using one in my backup PC and can confirm the sound is 2 channel only.

Looks like ECS doesn't even know if it's four channel or two.

Actually, they have been making either versions in parallel. Just check what you get.
