    Seems standard, but where'd the mosfet heatsinks go? You'd think a board that caters to a quadcore, 4gb of ram, and triple(!) 150w slots would need them...

    It looks like just two PCI slots, not three, same as the BadAxe and BadAxe2.

    Got me excited for a moment there, I could have stuck a soundcard in the third slot along with my two tv tuners...!

    I have my BadAxe board in my media center - it's been the most stable board I've ever bought. The two tuners are so I can watch and record TV at the same time (yes, I watch way too much TV.... :geek: )

    I think there is a program that lets you record your TV wile you are watching it :confused: the only problem is there is a slight delay for the image. so if your show starts at 5:00 you might see it start at 5:05 :sigh:

    If there are 3 pci slots, One of them could be under the video card.
