It's highend. Ultra-highend can go into the 500s. A solid motherboard (250-300$) is worth it though. So many problems can be solved by having a quality motherboard. ]]>Nov 25th 2009 8:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/asus-usb-3-0-equipped-p6x58d-premium-motherboard-now-available/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/asus-usb-3-0-equipped-p6x58d-premium-motherboard-now-available/you can buy the asus supercomputer mobo for 450$. that has 7 pci-e slots for only 150$ more than this.
