Does it really matter at this moment? Let the PCIe 3.0 cards come out and let them utilize the additional bandwidth first. By that time, these boards would be a bit of old, I guess.

Anyway, as a freebie it's OK.

puts a plug on the upgrade itch syndrome
you have no idea how many ppl are rushing to buy half baked msi/whatever board just for the PCIe 3.0 ready tag..
also a simple gpu upgrade will do in the future...coz i dont think Z68 is goin out of business in the next 1.5 yrs....

You never know about Intel.
