Anyone spilling any beans about the rumoured SSD caching with the Z68 chipset?? Is there any basis to the rumour, and if so, what does the SSD caching consist of?

I've got fingers crossed for an algorithm something like the Seagate Momentus hybrid so that you just plug in an SSD and a HDD and it will over time work out what you access most often, and optimise by copying or caching the most used files to the SSD

7 SATA is nice. What I'd really like though is integrated VGA WITH overlocking on K series chips. Is that so hard Intel?

Of course the real big question is, will Intel's RST RAID5 implementation now not suck hard on writes?

What i'm really looking forward to in some review #hint, hint Hexus# is some comment, critique or discussion of the business of using Quick Sync, whilst having a discrete graphics card. I assume that the Z series will be as woefull as all the others in this regard? Please tell me if i'm wrong.

Well that's exactly what this board does. Read the review to the last sentence.
