Sigh, why do they always have to skimp out at the last second?

With this type of board, why in the world would you bundle it with only a 6 channel audio instead of 8?

Also, why do dual lan instead of integrated bluetooth and wireless?

And instead of the eSATA port that no one uses, I would have rathered an mSATA on this board for a small boot SSD so that I can make the case even smaller and more discrete.

So much missed opportunity here in my opinion.

According to the specs at Gigabyte's website, you can actually get 8 channel sound out of it, you just need to get it from the mobo, not the backpanel directly.

However, that's actually the least strange thing. Two PS/2 ports and a serial port, yet no usb3 at all, not to mention s/pdif. A PCI slot, not a PCIe. They even wasted space on an IDE connector. Is this ancient stuff because of the chipset? I wouldn't dream of getting a mobo like this for any purpose unless I got it for free from some drawing...

I'm way more annoyed at that lack of SATA patch-count: What is it about anyone refusing to build an FreeNAS/ Intel motherboard?
