It appears the main difference between the 800 series and 900 series is 
that the 900 has triple-channel RAM, while the 800 series uses "only" 
dual-channel.

That would certainly make one hell of a difference to the price of the 
motherboard, but I wonder what it does to performance?

The solution, of course, is to compile a parts list, price it up, look 
and the performance benchmarks, and see where it slots in...
