    The person responsible for the placement of those two SATA connectors above the AGP slot needs to be smacked upside the head.

    Other than that, it looks good, but what's up with the two minijack headers with identical color coding? :wtf:

    And when is S939 coming out?

    see i would be all praise for this chipset if it weren't for the fact that S939 will make it obselete

    Yeah. In all honsety, I don't really care how the board performs. I won't be buying one, since S754 is as much of a dead end as S423 was.

    IMHO, I think the placement of the SATA headers is pretty nice, I have to dig around hoses, wires and other cables to get to mine which are under rhe AGP card and if they were up top life would be easier to the n'th power!

    you may be right about those SATA headers. i was thinking about it, and this board would be fantastic to someone who ran a photo editing business, cause it'd be a simple system to set-up with as many harddrives as humanly possible. if you need lots of HD space and you don't want to screw with raid and other add-in cards, this'd be a decent way to go

    What the hell are the SATA connectors doing ANYWHERE NEAR the AGP slot? Put them next to the RAM or whatever, just keep them AWAY from my video card (I'm not paranoid about video card cooling at all :p;D)
