I'm not gonna try to talk you out of the board...you obviously feel the need to spend more money. I suggest you go to the Gigabyte website, download the manual & familiarize yourself with it. See page 23 for info about the power supply connections. http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products... "And that's the fishing line, because Sharkboy said so!"

The thing is, is that the other boards don't have built in firewire, I would have to waste a whole pci slot for a firewire card. Thanks.

I'm sure the PCI-e x4 graphics slot will come in really handy. "And that's the fishing line, because Sharkboy said so!"
