Looks like there are gonna be a lot of mobos that end up in the scrap pile as a result of having only (2) PCI slots. Some may only have (1) usable PCI slot if you use a properly cooled Vid card.

I'd be willing to bet not a single new mobo shown at Cebit functions 100% as advertised when released. Asus as usual looks like they intend to flood the market with rushed out the door mobos that haven't been completely debugged. Next thing you know they will offer their mobos in all the colors of the rainbow...
