someone tell me if this is hot or what ? isnt price a bit high ?

wait for 2 weeks to see the reviews and the price will drop too.

Seems a little high but you do get a lot of added features. If the added features are up to speed it may be worth it.

i am just thinking of holding off right now for like 2 weeks like zzzz said.
when the Abit IT7 came out last week, it was like $176......now you can get it for ~$155.

i think that in about weeks time.....when Giga-byte boards will be out too, the price will settle ~$150 and then i might buy it.
Still thinking whether to go i850e + rambus or i845e + DDR

when is the Asus P4T533-E gonna come out....with all these features like Raid, firewire, Lan.......i might go for that.

Does anyone know if the 845E chipset comes standard with USB 2.0 or if it dependent on the manufacturer?

I'm thinking it depends on the manufacturer. I could be wrong, but I don't think the 845 chipset has USB 2.0 support.

I think I'd wait at least until Asus lists it on their website.
