DG33TL, anyone?

I'm vaguely astonished that no one in the forums has been talking about the DG33TL motherboard that Intel's putting out pretty soon:

It looks like a really fantastic board, especially for those of us trying to migrate to PCI-E (it uses a 1x PCI-E 16x, 2x PCI-E 1x, 1x PCI configuration).

Huh ? uATX + onboard graphics. This is not an enthusiast (read overclocking) board.

Now the guys down in the SFF forum might like it. But there are most definalty better and cheaper ways to migrate to PCI-e. I guess I am confused about what you are really trying to say.

If you have AGP video card and/or DDR memory something like this would be more better:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157107 with a $30 PCI-e video card it would beat the crap out of the intel on-board graphics.

There must be something about the Intel board I am missing ? Nothing wrong with it, very high quality, just do not see your point and normally its the upgrade to PCI-e graphics cards that is the issue.

You need to read "migrate to PCI-E" as "migrate EVERYTHING to PCI-E". You really hammered in on that off-hand comment. My point was, this is a very appealing board for the mATX crowd.
