EVGA 122-CK-NF68-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: -

Cons: -

Overall Review: I just wanted to let everyone know that the A1 is EVGA's update to their 680i motherboard. AR was the previous version. This update supposedly allows better Quad-Core overclocking. You can read more about it on the EVGA message boards. Also, if you have an AR, you can swap it for the A1.

Pros: This is one of THE mobos to own.

Cons: Just confirmed with EVGA and Newegg support that you can only ever get one rebate from EVGA. So if you wanted to buy this mobo and, say, two EVGA SLI cards you'd get one rebate out of three. Or if you ever bought a rebated product from EVGA before, you'd get zero rebates. Only workaround would be to have friends buy the 2nd and 3rd components for you.

Overall Review: EVGA knows this is a serious disincentive but I guess they'd rather make extra $$ disillusioning working stiffs. Asked Newegg to highlight EVGA's thumbs-down policy on their product blurbs and Newegg agreed it might be a good idea. Only other way to get the info is to read the fine print on rebate forms before buying and who the h--- is going to do that? Other than me. ;)
