Gotta love those Backlit, Power, Reset and Cmos buttons

Something just as surprising that board has 4 Ethernet sockets and 8 Usb sockets..

which m/b is it ?


i wonder who would need 4 ethernet sockets ?

My board has a CMOS reset on the back, its proved useful actually.

But really who needs 4 ethernet sockets? Big mistake IMO.. they should have bunged a couple of esatas on there.

Some people would use them. There have been times when Ive had a machine connected to two different subnets because, as a matter of policy, there wasnt allowed to be routing between them. Its only a step further to think someone might have the same situation but want to trunk two ports together per subnet?

I like the way gigabyte labels the headers. On my P5Q you have to leaf through the manual to find out which colour corresponds to usb, etc
