For the extras, and lets hope this bombs. Because we don't want all the other motherboard manufacturers getting this high cost idea.

All tho I have been wondering why motherboards are greatly cheaper than top of the line video cards.

I hope it bombs on the pricepoint for sure.....but still this mobo is packed full of good things!
