With the emergence of the whole SATA 3.0-6GB/s issue, I've gotten all screwed up on my motherboard selection. I saw this board on the ASUS website. It has the PLX bridge chip, which tested well.

This board is the non-H (ie no onboard video) second generation 1156 EVO board. Has anyone seen or, dare I say, bought one? Is it even out yet? Looks like a good feature set, depending on the price.

That has the SATA 3.0 / USB 3.0, but it doesn't have the PLX bridge chip. If you actually use those features, I think it degrades the PCI x16 performance of the video card. The PLX bridge avoids that.
