Anyone getting a Z68 motherboard?

This is the Intel chipset for the new Sandybridge CPUs. The Z68 allows you to overclock, use a discrete video card, AND use the Quick Sync technology.

Here are 15 models

I'm going to wait and see the performance of the AMD Bulldozer.  Would likely get another top-of-the-line ASUS MB for that one.  If the performance isn't there, I will go the SB route.  Shooting for an upgrade at the end of the year. . .and then making my current PC a 100% dedicated HTPC.

If you want to continue BD talk, please do so here (so as not to hijack this one any further):  AMD Bulldozer.

Gracias!

The ASUS P8Z68-V Pro is getting good reviews everywhere, it is worth checking if somebody is considering to buy a Z68 board.
