Talk about a nice board for $100, if it were in stock (at ZZF, Newegg, Mwave...):

Ars is a little behind the curve, Tom's had their review out a week ago. Still nice looking specs!

I guess I should start checking out THG again? I quit reading them so long ago after too many benchmarks were not reproducable in my own labs (by too large of margins), leading me to believe they were getting too many cherry picked goods or otherwise providing less than accurate numbers.

I've noticed that a few times too, I think its a case of cherry picked goods more so than anything. One thing I notice about the majority of the reviews for these boards is they all use the same chip the X2 4850e and all use the 3450 as a gpu comparison. Me thinks it was a hand picked shipped out bundle.
