Think this is pre-release gouging or indicative of the retail price after launch?
It seemed like the preview press was spinning that these P67 boards would be a lot cheaper since they were supposed to be targeted at a mainstream audience and since more of the clock control was going to the CPU rather than the board.
$250 is not really better than the X58 prices, and it's more expensive than their Deluxe boards for Socket 775 launch. I skipped 1156, so I don't remember how their launch prices compared.
Very expensive board considering that it's only lga 1155 and not even the high end lga 2011.
Link no longer works guys..
This particular board looks like one of the more bells-and-whistles tricked out boards. Three PCIe x16 connectors, edge-mounted SATA ports, huge heatsinks, black PCB, and the USB 3.0 front panel thing are more indicative of a higher-end board.
Either way, price does seem like gouging, especially since it's a third-party seller.
Most of the pre-launch stuff expected the highest-end P67 boards (ASRock Fatal1ty, Asus Maximus IV, and Gigabyte Ultra Durable 7) to be around the $250 mark.
Exactly. If the Asus's ROG line of boards is supposed to be ~$250, then it's hard to imagine that the Deluxe would be > $200, given the sort of price premium ROG boards usually command.
But, it's possible that the $250 estimates for those boards was low.
Yeah, there is no way those prices are going to stick once official release hits.
No point of buying a motherboard pre release because the CPU wont be available till 2011 JAN end.
So the Deluxe and the EVO are pretty much the same?
Does anyone have an idea if the difference of the16+2 DIGI+VRM is worth it?

Looks like only the power phases. Really not much to push the EVO over the Pro though, unless you feel a need for the second GigE.
Great spreadsheet comparison /linky

My thoughts exactly if deciding between the PRO and EVO...
BUT between the P8P67 and PRO.....Is it worth getting the PRO?
Only Major difference is the that the Pro has 3 PCIe x16 slots and the P8P67 has 2 slots?
