What happened to the High End feature set of 1156 Socket Motherboards?
I like to know why is it that:
-all 1156 motherboards offer only 2 x PCIe 2.0 x8/x8
-I can't find Marvel lan support
-Integrated sound instead of PCIe sound card for higher end models
Yet charge a higher premium for what appears to me to be reduce feature set. Now if the price for these upper end motherboards were less then $175 I could understand but the 1156 motherboards seem to be for the most part lack luster compared to other motherboards for other CPUs.
