Can someone please explain me way the GA-Z97X-UD7 is just around $214.99 and the GA-Z87X-UD7 is around $500 ?
Is it because the chipset is brand new and there aren't early adaptors ?
But if this board is going to work OOB, than I guess it's now the moment to buy it because in several months when Intels 5th Gen will be released I guess the boards price will be going up, no ?
I have a Sonnet Echo Express SEII at the moment with ThundeBolt 2 and 2 Lynx AES16-50SRC inside it for audio communication between my MacBookPro Retina and my Midas Pro 2. But if this will work OOB I guess I gonna make a new Hackintiosh with this board and then the new Intel 5th core CPU.
The main price difference is based on the inclusion of a PLX chip on the Z87X UD7 TH main board. It doubles the PCI Express bandwidth and makes for a much better 3 or 4-way SLI board than the Z97X UD7 TH.
