finally see G34/G45 at newegg, atm only 4 boards.

after going over the specs of the gigabyte boards. the PCIE x16 slot is only x4 to the NB. Looks like intel wanted to limit this new line of MATX chipsets. in either case x4 will be more then enough for people looking to add cards in the system for better hardware off loading of HD-DVD/Blueray. no keep in mind the on board video does all the work of video decoding for HD-DVD/BLueray. making a addin card not needed for just video playback. both boards sport 4phase PWM, more then enough for some mild ocing with 45nm quads. well more then enough for some good ocing with 45nm dual cores. keep in mind though without reviews to see the ram ratios, you might not be able to oc that much.
*edit*
opps forgot to say that hd-dvd/blueray hardware playback is only on the X4500HD that the G45 carries.
