Is Gary Key still writing for Anandtech? I noticed he hasn't posted in a while and his email address @anandtech bounced the other day, though I've successfully emailed him there before and gotten responses.If he left, where did he go? His motherboard reviews were usually thorough, superb, and very much appreciated.
(Your review is fine, I am just wondering what happened to Gary Key.)

I can confirm that Gary left us to go work for someone else last month. I'm sure he'll still read the site, but his new job prevents him from writing for us now. We wish him the best, though!yacoub - Monday, January 4, 2010 - link
Ah okay, thanks for the update. I guess he's working for one of the companies who make products you guys review, not another news site? :)JarredWalton - Monday, January 4, 2010 - link
Yeah, I thinks it's okay for us to mention he's at ASUS now.yacoub - Monday, January 4, 2010 - link

Surprisingly enough, the price isn't bad. $134 @ Newegg.fr500 - Tuesday, April 6, 2010 - link
Hi anandDid you tell DFI about the reboot loop problem, S1 works fine but the GPU fan ramps up to 100% on S1 so it's unusable, and S3 has the aforementioned problem of random waking up and get stuck in a reboot loop.
S3 is VERY important on an HTPC board imho. S4 works too but it's still too slow for day to day usage.
If it can't be fixed guess I'll have to clock down to stock overclocking via software when gaming or get a passive cooled GTS250 instead of the current active cooled one.
