might wanna let I.M.O.G. know about that board :rofl:
 
Nicely written review. I've not paid any attention to boards from Sapphire in quite some time. Do any of you know if they are any good at providing timely BIOS updates? If you were to buy this board, seems like you'd want to have that bios overclocking glitch fixed asap....
 
Honestly, I haven't had much experience with Sapphire's Motherboards either as far as timely BIOS releases, I guess we'll find out though :)
