Great little boards but if these are the KP and not the KPR then they will need to have their BIOS flashed with a Sandy Bridge CPU before they will support Ivy Bridge processors.

They also have VT-d disabled.

Apart from that, they support GXXX / i3 / E3 v1 (v2 after bios update), support ECC ram (or non ECC), have the C206 workstation chipset, a PCIe x16 slot and the dual lan.

Great little board that could have been fantastic if Intel hadn't borked the VT-d.

Yeah the situation with VT-d on many desktop CPUs is kinda borked too. No VT-d on K-series Ivy chips but non-K does have. All just marketing of course and sure the unlocked ones mainly go to enthusiasts and gamers and overclockers who generally don't care about such but still.
