Ah, makes a bit more sense then.

Thought ASUS was also doing this with their Intel boards... P5Q3 has 16 chokes on it.

I was thinking this too, the 140W number is for the next Phenom X4 CPU

Curious. This would of made sense with 65nm Quads, but now they are doing it for "future" 45nm Quads? Deliberately mis-leading marketing, obivously no support for "next-generation" Nehalem on those boards.
