Strengths: SLI, CrossFire both supported, High tech, great cooling
Weaknesses: expensive, no pci64 slot anymore, less memory support
Summary: I'm using this MB with QX9775. Well, this MB still support LGA771 type of Zeon processor. Also both SLI and Crossfire supported. I choose SLI because of price of cards. Anyway this is first SLI supported from Intel. Looking very powerful and forceful desin. Specially I love that black platform. Also Box design is black and extremely powerful shape. But my opinion is if there is one of PCI64 slot for use SCSI raid controller, that it should be SUPER. I'm not SAS guy yet cuz SAS HDD is expensive at this point. So i'm trying to find out the SCSI controller that use on PCI express. Anyway It's great board and worth price!

Strengths: First dual-socket workstation board to support SLI. GREAT for video editing, visual fx workstation, or a ridiculously powerful gaming machine.
Weaknesses: Requires a LOT of power when slots are fully populated. RAM is expensive. Needs a lot of cooling.
Summary: Bought this board the second it came out, and I can't really say anything bad about it. Easy to overclock. Easy to setup(assuming you've built a computer before). Very stable, and supports a lot of the newer technologies. If you're in need of an 8-core workstation, and still want to take advantage of SLI this is really the only board in town.

Strengths: Superfast and responsive, excellent performance when paired with dual geforce 9800GX2.
Perfect with watercooled QX9775 cpu.
Weaknesses: Just like any other high performance board, you must opt out for aftermarket NB/SB waterblocks to get the full potential out of this board.
Summary: Absolutely the best high performance gaming board i have bought to date!
Virtually no known issues or problems, truly a turn key motherboard.
This board has all the bells and whistles and recognizes all parts applied on it automatically.
Best performance is recognized when CPU and GPU are Watercooled.
