Som vi kan se er der ifølge manualen ikke umiddelbart understøttelse for DDR2-800, men det kan vælges i BIOS, og en forespørgsel hos Intel bekræfter at det kun er et spørgsmål om hvilken BIOS version bundkortet er leveret med. SLI er heller ikke umiddelbart nævnt som andet end multiple PCIe graphics support. Det sidste skyldes at nVidia ikke officielt har godkendt chipsettet som SLI kompatibelt - men så kan man jo bare gøre det selv og kalde det noget andet. De store ændringer ligger i BIOS med et væld af nye features, og så den elektriske opbygning af selve printet med kraftige komponenter, bedre opbygning af printbanerne og effektive køleløsninger. Las os se lidt nærmere på det.
