Did Sapphire just say they were going to start making Mobo's? That would be the most exciting point of the conversation for me.

Yeah, pulled my foot out of my mouth and opened my eyes. A quick google for "sapphire motherboard" reveals a whole slew of poor, yet enthusiast level boards that I would have no interest in to begin with. I did run across their re-branded LanParty, all aluminum, enthusiast board.

I retract my previous comment. I hope they make GOOD boards this time around.

Isnt the phenom really power hungry at the moment.

2 models are 95W at the moment. 125W model will not be sold. Later we might see a better models and may be a better power consumption. who knows...
