Finally! I've been looking forward to this kind of board 🙂 Sadly 10GB routers/switches are still MANY times more expensive than this board :S

Assuming that fan ain't not too loud, this might be a worthy replacement for my aging X58 rig.

well it's about frickin time 10gbit lan ports were added. Now the only problem is no standard consumer routers have 10gbit ports. Have to buy some incredible expensive corporate type router to get the speed

sure... but on other hand it is for pro... If you have only "normal" lan then you have the "normal" ASRock X99 WS (very good too btw). Since ASRock have no more thing to do with ASUS, it goes inovative and reliable (wich is very important for WS and pro) )... Their independence is all benefit.

yes even more 😀 compared to 1g

What is the street value of a 10G BASE-T "regular" network card? 400USD or so? Found one: http://www.ncix.com/detail/thecus-c10gtr-10gb-ethernet-pci-e-15-102467.htm Maybe not the best brand though, unless there are professional brands I haven't heard about. Edit: Based on the features and the platform itself I wont be surprised if this motherboard is 1000USD+

Im glad I just upgraded my network at home, Using some netgear 10G Base switch, Tho my router still using 1G lan, but most of my systems all connected to the switch, Just wish rampage would have 10g lan port. would be really awesome for data transfer from my server. Oh well, still early days.
