What are difference between UD3 and UD3R besides colour?
Dual CPU Power? what's that?
Doesn't the R normally denote RAID support too?

I never understand why one of the x16 slots only operates at x4, kiss goodbye to any form of SLI/Crossfire on those boards which is what people are wanting.

It's so that people who want XF/SLI go for an x series chipset (X48, X58 etc. [X68?]) which has more PCIe lanes.
