keep seeing that number...what does it represent? and people keep telling me that its the best mobo..

it's the northbridge chipset #... it's a new one, and i'd guess it's good, ask OMEGA... he's got a EVGA mobo with it...

975X is the best chipset.
support crossfire out of the box, and with asus's flex SLI bridge connector and some hacked drivers you can use SLI too.

Do you have a link to this?

@Fade2Green, you dont know what your talking about

As others have said, the 680i refers to the chipset on the motherboard. It's one of the best motherboard available for the Core 2 Duo, for several reasons. The basics are the excellent overclocking ability and features, 3x PCI-E x16 slots, and the not-so obvious such as the motherboard using high quality capacitors, 6-layer PCB to allow more efficient transfer of power between devices, and overall just a higher quality build.
