You get a little more than the bottle in Florida Boli. This should make your 5 hour flight a little more palatable <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=3261904.png">
Impatient mind, this is the mobo I got. If I can do what you're suggesting, that could be interesting. http://www.amazon.com/P8P67-M-PRO-R...0VEK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1312745916&sr=8-1
The specs here show there are no video ports on the back panel of the mb and would not be possible like the gigabyte mb http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131707
Yap I agree. There is no onboard video for the ASUS card. Besides the socket (LGA 1155 - for i5-2600k processor), you need to look at the chipset of choice for the motherboard. The Gigabyte and ASUS boards are different. One is P67 and one is Z68. From this page: http://rethinkthought.com/intel-sandy-bridges-h67-p67-and-z68-differences-explained/ H67 â Onboard graphics are enabled, while overclocking is disabled P67 â You need a graphics card for this chipset â onboard graphics is disabled, however overclocking is enabled here Z68 â You guessed itâ¦best of both worlds. Onboard graphics are enabled, as is overclocking Adding graphics cards are no big deal. Just $20 a card is really great. Explanation of chipset (slightly dated but you get the idea): http://www.pantherproducts.co.uk/Articles/Motherboard/chipset.shtml The small guy on the motherboard is the intel chipset (P67 for that ASUS board, Z68 for that Gigabyte board): This guy... it was covered by the ASUS heatsink.
Absolutely, thanks fellas, as I said, "I'm not Intel savvy" and little did I know the Z68 was the latest and greatest chipset out of Intel. I think the key word is OPTIONAL, if you don't want the Onboard Video, shop around and find just what your looking for.
You better be careful there Sam, I know Boli likes to travel and if he can pick up $150.00 installing a couple cards for LeapUP he might just show up on your doorstep!

These chipsets are beautiful... All these I/O functions... dealing with keyboard, moust, parallel port, floppy drive, Ethernet, etc... used to be separate cards that you install on a computer. Now the processor chip maker (i.e. Intel versus the other guy LOL)... has integrated these functions down on the same silicon IC. (But I still miss the days where I connect these components separately! LOL Makes me feel important that I "know" what goes where... ) I will not drive cars with automatic transmissions! LOL *sigh* now cars can do its own parallel parking...
