I can see your point - you are right!!! But I am one of those guys who does many things on computer (and I mean MANY) from video making to photography, music etc... All 5 pci slots in my win2k machines are filled - Audigy, TV Card, Raid, SCSI etc. I was just thinking that an inch bigger board would accomodate extra slot that even if you dont use it initialy it would give you peace of mind that in case you need to expand your system you can do so without compromises...
