DFI LanParty UT nF590 SLI-M2R claims to be the best SLI platform on earth. DFI is the first motherboard maker to implement Digital PWM for the CPU power regulation. You can also bump the DDR2 memory voltage to 3.0V as well as 1.875V for the 65nm microprocessors, which is ideal for overclockers.

Time will tell...

Despite the hype, PWM vcore has been available for some time. Four or five phase PWM vcore can be a good upgrade if properly implemented. It will take a lot more than just higher voltage options to produce the ultimate SLI or Crossfire mobo however. This DFI mobo like many other recent SLI/Crossfire mobos only has two USABLE PCI slots when using appropriately cooled double-slot Video cards. Evidently the mobo companies just don't give a damn what customers want. This is reflected in recent sales drops no doubt.

Wow. DFI always has super-clean layouts. This allows 2x 7900GTXs AND a sound card AND PhysX AND any PCIe peripheral. AND it's an overclcoking beast.

But it's yellow. I want to see this thing head to head with Foxconn.

And you dont give a damn about what this mobo is targetted twards do you? ;) Recent sales drops? The DFI NF4 and this one I expect will continue to set DFI sales and mobo sales records.

Its aimed at extreme overclockers, and gaming enthusiast overclockers.

Hence the digital PWM and spacy pci-e. Only really need ~1 pci slot for a sound card if people choose to use one.

DFI has much needed this digital PWM because enthusiasts are constantly pushing the mobos.. to the point they are looking at extremely subtle, but noticable effects in voltage... wether its voltage fluxuation or just plain dirty voltage..
