I opted to spend FAAAR less on a P67. I would use nothing extra that the new Z68 boards have.

I have a full SSD so don't need that new Intel stuff. I have absolutely no desire for hybrid graphics - My GTX285 down-clocks itself when in the desktop anyway and my desktop does not run on a battery. Unlike my laptop which does and power savings with hybrid graphics are actually useful.

Hell, I opted to go for a P8P67 instead of the Pro version because I could not discern any real major benefits other that both SLI and Crossfire support, which I need neither of.
