I can't tell if that's a microATX or a full ATX board, but it looks like it's microATX.  Is it possible that the socket 1160 is intended for microATX motherboards while the socket 1366 is for full ATX?  Also, a previous article on a 1366 motherboard mentioned that socket 1366 motherboards looked crowded if you included six memory slots.  Might this problem provide incentive to move to the extended ATX form factor?  Or do we need some other motherboard form factor (as well as new cases)? Has this been discussed?  Thanks, Niels

Good that someone brought up the subject of AGP 4X cards.  My old Gateway 500x machine with an Intel Essex motherboard with a 4X AGP slot is good enough for my needs, except I'd like a better video experience.  I'd like to see something in Maximum PC or in these comments comparing available AGP 4X cards, which one is the best yet will still work in older motherboards.  I bought a 8x card that worked for only a while, so I reinstalled my MX440.  Anybody have any opinions?  Thanks, Niels

I installed it today on my desktop with only one quickly resolved problem. My laptop is Vista; when I tried to use the printer attached to my desktop, my laptop demanded that the printer driver be re-installed.
