I've never been a MSI MB fan (ASUS or GB for me) but it's nice to see some progress on Bulldozer. Hopefully we will see some leaked "honest" reviews so folks can make a decision to go current AM3 or Bulldozer. I will be redoing two current systems with AM3 quad core systems now for my son and wife (they don't need that much power but for the price I can't go wrong) and I will build my machine later this year once I see performance reviews of Bulldozer. I would love to see a 30-50% increase of raw power from BD from the current CPUs. I will be waiting for OMEGA's review on this one. It will be great to see the ASUS Crosshair version of this MB.
