That looks like a very vanilla motherboard to me. That's the standard feature set for current intel chipsets as far as I can see.

It has been setup to run Core 2 Duo.

It's a i945 chipset instead of an i965, which probably has some kind of ramifications for memory bandwidth or supported frequencies or something, but it still looks vanilla to me.
In fact, it's a little less than vanilla. It's cream-flavor or something, since it doesn't have any IDE support. Bleh.
The GA-965P-DQ6 looks more interesting: 8 SATA ports, 6 of which can be eSATA, 1 IDE, a non SLI/Crossfire second 16xPCIe slot and Dolby Live and DTS Connect Support. Of course, it's probably a $250 board...

Speaking of things that look interesting. And it's from Asus. I feel unclean.

Actually, the Asrock looked more interesting. It would allow the use of my video card and memory and still get Core 2 Duo. But, like you said, it's from Asus.

That is a very nice Gigabyte motherboard. Solid capacitors instead of electrolytic capacitors.
The price is high. But the product is very well endowed. It would make for a very nice advanced HTPC.
