Newegg prices are always less than Indian prices. So, these boards IMO will be around 10k here.

Less than that, the ASUS Z68 Vpro will cost 13k here, so the mATX boards will be sub 10k for sure, more like 8k around.

Whoa!
M so waiting for it now
my dilemma ends here cuz I was confused as to go for integrated gfx in h67 or OCing supremacy in p67
p67+h67=Z68 =best of both worlds (or boards )

its a tie between asus and asrock
and we still have to wait for MSI/ECS/...

 

[saswat23]

actually many of Asus and AsRock boards have similar feature and quite similar naming too.

Asrock is asus, the company was spleat up from asus to compete in OEM markets, founded by some of the core founders of asus.

Gigabyte z68 boards neither have display out nor suppot virtue, I'd stay away from those, get asus v pro instead.

some Gigabyte Z68 mobos comes with IGP

GIGABYTE GA-Z68A-D3H-B3
*www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3856

BTW, is it available in here yet :
ASUS P8Z68-V PRO

 

[bhushan2k]

all "UD" products of gigabyte don't have IGP support..and others i.e. "D" support IGP..so those UD products are more inclined towards OCing..so D products will be less than 8k i think..hope so..

^^ that's great but we need some p67/z68 mobos which can be priced accordingly so that users can take the benefit of this and if it can reach 4.5 Ghz it would be just awesome - BTW, TFS

Well...lets send Intel the Bulldozer (probable) prices....to aid them in pricing!

Anyone?

They know, and if they aren't changing prices, I guess we are all in for a surprise.
