eVGA 780i MotherboardStrengths: Lots of I/O ports (6 USB, 2 UTP, 1394, SPDIF), 3 PCI Express Weakness: Lack eSATA and SPDIF input for Home Theather PC setup. The board is very easy to setup. Although it has 6 SATA connections but there is none for back panel connection. You have to use one of the SATA connection and run it to the front or the back of your case. I am planning on using this for my home theather PC but I found it is lack of optical SPDIF input. Other than that, it is a great motherboard.

Herald to the FTWStrengths: good looks, nice packaging, available updates, good suport forum, ddr2, Firewire 400, SLI, RAID, rounded ATA cable, optional extra rear USB ports Weakness: no rear eSATA, no Firewire 800, no solid state resistors, only six internal SATA, only two internal usb headers, dramatic vdroop, limited original owner 30-day registration for lifetime warranty Even with the specifications for the EVGA 780i FTW out, I couldn't wait for it to be released as I needed a board for my new build. The 780i board works great normally; but the vdroop is dramatic and generates much less voltage than you specify in the bios, and I haven't had enough time to play with the settings to run a stable overclock. The amount of support for this product, as well as any...

Good product overall, some issuesStrengths: eVGA Support, boatload of features, x16 SLi Support, Supports New 45nm Core 2's, Dual Gigabit Ethernet Weakness: Price, Unstable, 2 PCI Slots that are blocked in SLi configs, inadequate cooling on northbridge Much better product than 680i (Nvidia seems to have ironed out some bugs from the 680i), but still unstable. SLi is nice to have, but the only thing better than the 680i is the 45nm Quad support. PCIe 2.0 is a nonissue since most cards don't use all of 1.0's bandwidth. All in all, a decent product, would be wonderful if it worked as advertised all the time!

Great BoardStrengths: Overclocking and tweaking is great on this board. Weakness: None so far This board is great. It was my first build from scratch and I had no problems with the board assembly or boot. I like that the board is DDR2 which gives much better price to performance right now. I also choose this board for the wide varaity of options available for overclocking and tweeking the settings for the components.

EVGA 780i SLI Intel Board - GREATStrengths: The board comes with so many options I cannot fill all the connectors. The board fired up with no hesitation and has performed flawlessly since my initial build. Does it all! Weakness: None. This is as upgrade machine and has worked perfectly. I want to recommend this board to anyone who has high standards and does not require the latest / greatest (DDR3). I have purchased my second EVGA 780i board to replace a system that recently died. It will be nice to have two machines on par for test work and then one for production applications. Great board.

Nice board paired with Q6600Strengths: Triple SLI, Plenty of Intel CPU support, supports ddr1200 Weakness: None so far. Board booted right up and made sure I had the latest bios. Plenty of SATA connectors. Supports DDR1200. No over clocking but runs smoothly as a standard use non gaming machine at this point. 1st EVGA Motherboard owned and like it overall so far.

Excellent Board for anyone building a PC
Strengths: Comes with everything you could possibly need, overclocks easily, easy to install and set up, PCI Express 2.0...too many others to list
Weakness: No eSata, not DDR3 (but who cares right now), no WiFi
This was my first ever PC build and this board made it easy! User's Manual explained many things and helped identify what to plug into where. I used this board with an Antec P182 case, a Q6600 CPU, a Coolermaster Real Pro Power 750w PSU, G. Skill pc8000 Ram 4gb (2x2gb)and an EVGA 8800GTS (g92) with Vista Ultimate 64-Bit. Everything went perfectly! Not a single problem installing and setting BIOS...
