Id stick with an Ultra-D, SLI-D or Expert personally.. There doesnt seem to be much different with the Venus other then a big price tag imo.. Opps cant forget about the pretty box..lol..

I mean if your out to buy a new board, have the cash to blow and want the best of the best.. then I guess the Venus is it.

But from what Ive seen in various forums it doesnt seem like the overclocking is much much better then the other NF4 boards.. Maybe a little better but not enough to justify the heavy price..

Thanks for the input ThunDA, makes perfect sense to me! Marketing... All marketing!

By the way, popped in my Expert last night and I was up till 3 trying to get it work. I think I got a dud. Check out my OCF thread.
