I wanted my Rampage II Gene to be all PCIe back then, today i don't even want to look at anything that still has PCI slots on it.

There are people like me who still use PCI slots
I use them for Sound card and TV Tuner cards. This 3 PCI slot is perfect for my media center upgrade as the third slot is needed for a parallel port so I can use the front LED display on my Ahanix case (I would have preferred a built-in parallel port right on the board). Why throw those perfectly working PCI devices?
I guess if you need high end go with AM3+ 990FX chipset.
