Well, I have no use for Wi-fi on this board, and anything now is
always going to be obsolete in six months. But I keep my setups for
years so for me the top end always seems to work out. A motherboard
isn't something you want to change once you are up and running, like
say a CPU or more RAM. Besides the cost difference is 150 US, not a
lot of money to buy in the top end. It isn't like it is a 500 dollar
Striker Extreme!
thanks for the comment.

TBH, I'd recommend you buy an Asus P5K-E/Wifi-AP (which I've built
several machines around and they're all awesome) and leave it at that
a top of the line S775 board seems like a silly investment at this
point when it'll be very obsolete in ~6 months as Nehalem launches

to pair with a Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield 2.83GHz LGA 775 95W

but I like it's feature rich design, new power saving features, the
new X48 chipset and most importantly it supports my Corsair XPS2
DDR2 800MHz RAM.
Any comments, advice? thanks
