"Both models also pack two PCI Express 2.0 slots"

You probably meant 3.0 😉

I think it was supposed to read "PCI Express 2.0 x1 slots". They'd already mentioned the 3.0 x16's

No, he states : "The latter packs support for three PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots, while the Z77H-A2X supports two PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots"

So they support both PCI 3.0 and 2.0.

I wouldn't care if it was solid 24k gold, I still wouldn't touch anything by ECS.

Hmm

ECS short for "Extremely Crappy Systems"?

Looks really plastic to me.

Way to announce cards that people can't buy. Still waiting for my reference 680.

[K2N hater]

I expected a much better 802.11 implementation...

I don't know about your experiences with ECS, but mine have been just fine. For example, my ECS 890GX AMD motherboard is running well even with my Phenom II 1045T and a decent overclock and has been for almost a year. I wouldn't have recommended that board for very high overclocking, but this board here seems fine to me.

i had my old e5200 with ECS GF7050 VT, still running well till now for three years
