Isn't the nvram slot for the readyboost SSD cards you can get?

Yes, but you can just as easily use it as an OS volume.

Not sure how much use ReadyBoost is anyway.....the benchmarks on Vista always showed it as near-useless unless you had very little RAM and so far Windows 7 hasn't let me turn it on because "I won't see any gains"
I wonder what use that slot will have TBH, it's not a SATA port so would need a special drive I guess......recovery partition? swap drive? EFI?...or just an empty port?

No its EPS- Empty port slot :P. Havent a clue, looks good though (the mobos).

The boards look good. For some reason I always get a charge when I see new motherboards as opposed to video cards.
I can't wait to see how these P55-powered motherboards and others benchmark.

You obviously need a more thorough grounding ;)
