Default P45, or, "I need 12TB of HDD space"
Tom's Hardware has an interesting article on the P45 motherboards coming out..well..sometime. It's pretty short, but notable among it is the fact that one board has 13 SATA connectors (7 on the board, 6 toward the front) and one E-SATA. With 1TB HDDs readily available (hah!), someone could easily have 10+TB of space. This is nothing new to servers, but for a consumer board it's amazing. It's useful, though - you can never have many SATA ports.

Also of note is the fact that it looks like it has two PCI-E x1 slots, finally bucking the 2 PCI trend. Is PCI finally on its way out?

I look forward to this chipset going mainstream..if only for the front-mounted SATA: that'll help a lot of cabling troubles!

Nice link matey, I would welcome that many sata ports on a mobo as mine only has 6!

It's a shame to see motherboard vendors still trying to swerve towards DDR3, it's still ridiculously expensive...
