rtwjunkie When it dies, or I need a different resolution, of course I will buy a DP monitor.

newtekie1 That is why VGA went.

newtekie1 Do you have more than 6 permanently attached USB devices? Oh, and even if you do, USB3.0 Hubs are like $12 now...

newtekie1 Though, I will say I'd rather see two HDMI ports, which will fit in the same space as a single DVI.

Delta6326 Wow with 3m.2 ports no need to have sata wirers going anywhere, time for some really clean builds.

RCoon We do actually do mild overclocks on all our office machines (~400mhz), and fit them with Hyper 212 EVOs. All the mhz count for video converting/rendering.

john_ Many many years ago a company named Abit looked at their calendar(2002) and decided to get rid of all those legacy ports like the PS2 for example. That decision was a disaster.

deemon Not to mention the price. Q boards usually are way more expensive than Z boards (at least around here). And H97 and Z97 boards cost about the same ... so why not take Z over H if the price is the same?

Too bad DP monitors are hard to get if you are not buying 4K display, most of them have HDMI and VGA/DVI.VGA is still present on new monitors.Depends on where you live, but from my observations USB 3.0 hubs are costlier than USB 3.0 PCIe card.Let's make that DP ports.I would rather buy HDD because I get more space for the same price and what is the point of buying small capacity SSD on which you cannot even get a 4K video (because of the size) which you can only watch on SSD (or RAID) because it has higher read speed. And buying high capacity SSDs is too bloody expensive.Overclocking is just raising frequency to unspecified level, in the past it gave us the additional performance but today it just gives manufacturers an opportunity to raise prices and that is why buying Z series motherboards and overclockable CPUs is pointless.That was too soon but they said legacy video ports will be phased out in 2013 and then 2015 but nothing is happening. What is the point of saying they will phase something out if they are not going to?How is company supposed to make a decision when buying a new hardware when companies are not sure about their future plans for hardware support and make false predictions?This depends on the reseller but generally Z motherboard if not discounted costs more.
