So I'm looking for a new mobo. I'm planning on using the i7 920 and corsair ram. And hopefully OC to about 3.2 or so.

One thing I've been having trouble finding info on is whether or not the eSATA connection on the boards has Port Multiplication. Is it worth trying to find a board with this feature or should I just get a good board that doesn't have it and get an eSATA IO controller card?
 
Right now lets go with 300 to 500

ASUS P6T Deluxe V2
ASUS P6TD Deluxe
ASUS P6X58D
ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution
Gigabyte X58A-UD5
Gigabyte X58A-UD7
EVGA E760 Classified
EVGA E758-A1
 
and you're sure all of those board support Port Multiplication on the rear eSATA?
 
I'm a big fan of DFI. I say go with the LP UT X58-T3eH8. The new ITX model is pretty insane too.
 
Yea id agree on the dfi board but im using the DK x58-T3eH6 and ill have to say its a great board.out of the 3 x58 boards ive had the dfi is the best ive had ...cooler temps with the sinistered heatpipe and o/clocks so easy..its a very stable system..
Im kinda an asus fan but this dfi is as stable as any asus ive had.
could go on endlessly about this board but honestly its been a very good board for me....
 
How tempting is this little thing though....Might be my next build....
