Hopefully other board manufactures will follow suit....

I can see ASUS doing it and ASROCK at one time tried to be the leader in upgradability so I think they will give it a go as well. MSI should follow suit a little later but other than that you may be SOL.

Right. I running F5 bios on my p67a-ud4-b3 which states that it adds Gigabyte's TouchBios compatibility AND Adds Intel 22nm CPU Support. I assume 22nm is IB correct?

Okay I would like to know more about the architectural improvments of IB. I have heard things but have not seen a block diagram and one of the things I have heard is an improved DMI (doubled). If this is the case would that not cause a slight crippling of the CPU on z68 which uses a 20Gbps link to the CPU?

Yeah probably not but if the storage keeps moving to faster and faster speeds it can. I was just thinking that Intel would do us a big favor if they would drop more details about the architecture on us. I bought a Z68 for what it is not what it may be and I see many questions about Z68 IB support.
I think the best bet is to wait for IB chipsets if your ultimate plan is IB and to buy if you plan on using SB and are just looking at a potential UG option after your SB seems slow.

I want to see IvyBridge chips make the "old" 5GHz old news and make 6GHz possible on air... 
Impossible, I know. But it would be sweet. In all honesty, though, I'd be happy with more efficient chips with higher clock speeds and better performance all around (especially in benchmarks, more specifically 3D benchmarks... )

How much performance improvement should we see from the new 3d transistors?

Is that clock for clock or because we should be able to clock them higher?

I am sorry but I go with bang for the buck and at this point the AMD processors are not over priced but they have lost much of the bang
The jury is still out for me and I may get one, one day, and torture it.

I could do so, if I have some extra money.
Torture it... and sell it to some PPL!

I was stunned that they seem to be underperforming compared to the Phenom II's... Unless it's an OS limitation or something... That's NetBurst territory.
