At 270 bucks too, no parallel port. I say the prices will drop as soon as other models start coming out. Think Gigabyte has 2 other lower end 790s. Wonder how Nvidias MCP72 chips will do compaired to AMDs 790
Is it me or does gigabyte always release new chipset mothebroard before most other compaines, i think it was the first if not one of the first to relase the x38 too.
Seems like in the last year Gigabyte has really gone after Asus. Could be because of there little break up joint thing where they were going to collaborate making boards.
They have made chipsets since the late 90s, quit for awhile then took over ATI. These are really in my mind ATI chipset but I think AMD is replacing the ATI name to AMD on everything. They own it why not I guess.
