Ok, so we've got low end boards, but any word on when Intel plans to roll out low end processors, like sub-$80 processors?

yes they are releasing more ITX parts...since intel did this whole overclocking thing you can't oc on H61 can you...?

I don't believe so, even with a K series.

well i guess i am sticking with my H55 then bastards way to ruin an entire platform

There are P67 mITX boards in the works.:D

and hopefully they come out soon with better performance than my H55 :toast:

TBH, i dont see the reason for this chipset

leave it with H67 and P67, nuff already

Same reason we had G31 and G41, it gives an even cheaper option to OEMs to build extremely cheap pre-builts.

yes i can understand the OEM thing, but not for a mb maker to make boards for non OEM use, which the above is
