Thanks for that ciku. That sounds about right. I understand that the P4C comes with a little more stuff.

On other area of concern is how many USB ports it has. I know it comes with 4 on the back but are there any back plates includes for the other 4 it supports?

It's a good job you look in this forum or I wouldn't have anybody to answer my questions!

I've got a really old beloved tower case so I have to see whether my Abit USB connectors will work in this Asus. Probably not. But thanks for all the info. I paid for the board now so I'm just waiting for delivery.
