Looks sweet! SiS really rocks with their chipsets lately...

They seem to be making nice chipsets, but there's always a lack of higher-end, more power-userish boards.

Even when a top-tier name (not just a spinoff) makes a board, it's usually not as nice as, say, their Intel or nVidia board.

I wonder if this chipset only allows one 16X PCI-E slot?
