You can’t kill the ps/2 port and not be called a genocider.
Gibe the ps/2 :(
Just get rid of the wifi on board and give me more USB with those lanes. If people want that (and I am sure, but it seems weird on a board that also has double nics and one is 10G) just let them have a shared lane resource small m.2 (b/g) so they can add a plug in card, which also doesnt rule them out from the next big thing if you really like to be on the newest gen wifi/bluetooth stuff.
I got a big usb hub and stopped caring about this.
Having the ports at the front of my desk where I can plug things in and out more easily is nicer, too.
Obviously some stuff benefits from being plugged in “directly” but most things don’t. In normal use you almost never max out what a single port can do.
My USB hub has rave mode if I pull too much power.
And more SATA ports on the mobo.
Where is the PS/2?
In the past, where it belongs
Am I to trust my OS to decide to pay attention to me? My OS can freeze!
Now make them all USB-C
Oh hell no!
I’m a big usb-c fan, because it has a lot of advantages over usb-a like more data speed and power throughput.
But usb-a also has advantages over usb-c: much stronger connector and much cheaper.
For things like a mouse and keyboard, the advantages of usb-c are worthless, but the advantages of usb-a are not.
still doesn’t make sense , the USB-C supports USB-A on both sides so if one breaks a simple flip would solve it as for physical strength , how ,much weight are you putting on there ? I only support USB-A connector because I got older tech and refuse to replace been mine for 20+ years and still usable and I’m used to it
4 display outputs for onboard graphics? Why lol. I’ll take the dual ethernet ports.
Make that four. And ten gig, please.
Quad monitor+tv or 3 monitors and a vr set.
Whats the point if 2 ethernet ports?
Ain’t no integrated graphics pushing all that shit. But at this point, it’s the only thing available. 😂
Onboard graphics these days can certainly push 3-4 monitors, but you ain’t gonna be playing any games on it. At least nothing demanding. Could probably play stuff from the early 2000’s and before. Which, I mean, who needs anything else? Halo CE, my beloved…
That would be fine for office work, not so much for games.
How are you envisioning running a VR headset off of integrated graphics?
Separate network for NAS or local services. Or
bridgedbonded for more bandwidthBonded is more bandwidth. Bridged is just letting traffic flow between them.
Thanks, that is what I meant
Bonded ethernet ports are for redundancy and concurrency, which is not quite additional bandwidth. (Just calling that out to help squash any misconceptions of how bonding works. It is technically more bandwidth, but you won’t see total throughput of the two links unless you are transferring multiple files.)
The bonding I guess is fair game… But a bit odd if you only have a 2.5g and 1g ports… You would probably want those symmetrical.
But separate networks? Have you considered VLANs?
Once you’ve bonded what do you use that speed for? There’s no way my hard drive can handle 3.5G write speed.
Network speeds are GBit, not GByte. A single HDD already saturates a 2.5G port
See raid0 (but be safe and do raid 1+0). Also maybe it’s a server, so read speed is more important (usually).
Also for bridging
Double the websites, duh
They have to account for the fact that not everybody can afford new peripherals. There’s only so many converters and adapters us poors can cram back there.
Excuse me? You lost a network port, and a PS/2 port. And we need to fight for more DisplayPort in the world.
What’s the advantage of DP over HDMI? I see the ports more frequently these days but rarely see monitors that take direct DP input… Mostly HDMI.
I keep having to buy DP->HDMI converters
Mostly HDMI
That is because of lobbying. The reality is that HDMI has loyalties and isn’t a free standard like display port is. Display port is also superior technologically: it is compatible with usb-c (thunderbolt), supports higher framerate, and has higher quality (up to 16K).
DP is an open standard, HDMI is proprietary and licensed. That’s the biggest difference.
Yeah, that top image is a fantasy.
I currently have three USB ports, and one of them is used for power. 😭
Why would you want more usb if they aren’t all usb3 anyway? Make them all 3s
Make them all 4’s if we’re casting wishes.
Also where’s the 10G ethernet!?
16x USB 4, 1x 10 GbE, 4x SFP-DD, 2x HDMI, 2x DP, 2x GPMI. Oh, and a couple XLRs for audio connectivity. It’s really not much we’re asking for here.
They’re settling on 10 x 1g ethernet ports instead
You need a much better chipset to support 3.0 speeds on all of them at the same time. If you want to share speeds a well made usb hub will do.
In reality most people go for the cheaper option and focus more on RAM pcie and CPU features.
I have an old printer that only works up to USB 1.2 for some reason.
I’d settle for affordable components at this point.
I want the second pic, but with the ps/2 port and the secondary NIC port. ALL THE PORTS!
that dual NIC was looking a little sweet.
the asus p8z77 v deluxe let me down so bad!
