A great review from the man himself! I remain apathetic towards LGA775, but if I had to consider the platform I'd keep the PF5 Extreme in mind. Nice layout, nice display flexibility (a big thing for me) and plent of SATA are all good. Shame about the colour scheme and DDR2 though (I wish Intel hadn't cut DDR support out of 945, and it's not something ECS can rectify if they want to use 945).
A 915P version with both PEG slots and DDR would be nice, hint hint.
