I have to say I needed to check the model number twice to make sure we were talking about the same thing! Whilst I accept that to a certain degree any review is subjective, it should at least be factually accurate.<P>Perhaps if the reviewer had spent a little more time evaluating the board rather than worrying about a sticker on the PCI slots he would have noticed the following :-</P><UL><LI>There are <STRONG>TWO</STRONG> PCIE slots (1X16 and 1X4).</LI><LI>There <STRONG>IS </STRONG>a firewire port (yes it is on the backplane!).</LI><LI>Both the ICH8R and Gigabyte SATA2 controller support RAID.</LI></UL><P>I have found this board to be an excellent overclocker (using F5 bios), and my C2D E4300 is running at 2988Mhz without Prime 95 or FAH errors.</P><P>Hope you will give your reviwer a slap on the wristWed, 16 May 2007 11:51:11 GMTOne_Box
