Absolutely, I have been itching to buy this motherboard myself, and the price is almost reasonable. Almost.

It looks ... amazing for a motherboard. The Feature list is out of this world, kind of. My only problem with it is the lack of secondary Ethernet port, but who uses those anyways...]]>May 31st 2010 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-showcases-rog-cg8490-gaming-desktop-core-i7-980x-dual-oc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-showcases-rog-cg8490-gaming-desktop-core-i7-980x-dual-oc/I've read a few reviews on the R3E and it's not worth the money. There's no major improvement or anything of sort.

You do not comprehend. At this point, most high end x58 motherboards perform just about the same. It is all about the looks... :D

I am joking though. Still, when it comes to a choice between EVGA X58 Classified, THIS, and a Gigabyte equivalent, the choice should be pretty clear. Of course, I would not buy it anyways, as I already have the Classified from 6 months ago.]]>May 31st 2010 8:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-showcases-rog-cg8490-gaming-desktop-core-i7-980x-dual-oc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-showcases-rog-cg8490-gaming-desktop-core-i7-980x-dual-oc/May 31st 2010 7:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-showcases-rog-cg8490-gaming-desktop-core-i7-980x-dual-oc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-showcases-rog-cg8490-gaming-desktop-core-i7-980x-dual-oc/May 31st 2010 7:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-showcases-rog-cg8490-gaming-desktop-core-i7-980x-dual-oc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-showcases-rog-cg8490-gaming-desktop-core-i7-980x-dual-oc/May 31st 2010 7:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-showcases-rog-cg8490-gaming-desktop-core-i7-980x-dual-oc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-showcases-rog-cg8490-gaming-desktop-core-i7-980x-dual-oc/May 31st 2010 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-showcases-rog-cg8490-gaming-desktop-core-i7-980x-dual-oc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/31/asus-showcases-rog-cg8490-gaming-desktop-core-i7-980x-dual-oc/@SteveyAyo
