I believe wild_andy_c has one but he hasn't reviewed it yet. actually he may not even have it yet. I hear good things about it but I don't know if I trust having everything intergrated. we will all have to wait another 3months maybe christmas time.

ive heard th onboard video was easily disabled and you could run any graphix card of your choice! the onboars audio ive heardis dolby digital 5.1. also if you run onboard video you would recieve 6X AGP but if you put your own graphix card in you could only run 4X.

thats about all i know anything else someone has to share please do!

I heard that the board will have built in Geforce2 GTS video. Never have I seen something so cool!

The board is amazing. I shalln't be reviewing it. It's reference and is very buggy and generally won't run for longer than one hour. The USB doesn't work and the board has no way of shutting down (you have to pull the lead and it corrupts the hard drive every time).

The graphics are GF2MX (2 pipes not 4) but can potentially run with a dual channel 128bit DDR bus which is equivelenmt to 512Mhz video memory speed. People say that the onboard graphics are easy to disable - there is no need, they truly are awesome.

The sound on the card is equivelent of having Creative Cambridge Soundworks DTT2200's on a soundblaster live - whadya think of that prospect in Unreal Tournament !!!
