I'm sure that is lovely for you... what language are you writing in... I only speak English and French and I didn't understand a single word :eusa_doh: :eusa_doh: :eusa_doh: :lol:
Apart from some silly cooling gimmicks and some over-clocking features I can't see what that offers that a board half the price doesn't. Sorry, but the whole idea of making the system more flaky and risking cooking the CPU for the sake of a few percent speed increase just doesn't appeal to me. Our uses of PCs are obviously quite different. I hope it does what you want though, and you're happy with it.
I lubs my mac =] But my pc upstairs i play around with, ubuntu linux + windows with other random parts added from other old pc's hehe...
