For an enthusiast-level mainboard there's not much missing. The high-performance Xpress 3200 northbridge is present and the M1575 does the rest of the grunt work. There's two GigE ports (one on PCIe, one on PCI), HD Audio from one of Realtek's competent CODECs with coax and optical digital out, lots of USB2.0, FireWire, and finally three PCIc slots for peripheral expansion.
The M1575's disk controller supports SATA2/SATA300 on all four ports and the Sil3132 gets in on the act with two ports of the same, one eSATA and one internal to the chassis as normal.
