What is up and coming in the world of Intel mobo's?

What kind of things will we be seeing in new motherboards this summer? I know there will be pci express, BTX before too long, but what new audio devices, overclocking tools, or other cool things will we be seeing?

Here's what I can find so far:

Alderwood (i925X):
LGA775 for Prescott & Tejas
DDR2
800 FSB
ICH6R (Southbridge with RAID)
AC-97 (it's the standard still)
PAT (similar to the i875P)
1 PCI Express Graphics (PEG16x) Connector
1 PCI Express 1x Connector for Peripherals
4 SATA
So far, Asus samples have been ATX (and DDR1).

Grantsdale-P (i915P):
LGA775 for Prescott & Tejas
DDR
800 & 533 FSB
ICH6R (Southbridge with RAID)
AC-97 (it's the standard still)
PAT (similar to the i875P)
1 PCI Express Graphics (PEG16x) Connector
1 PCI Express 1x Connector for Peripherals
4 SATA

Grantsdale-G (i915G)
Same as Grantsdale-P with Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 3

Grantsdale-GL (i915GL)
Same as Grantsdale-P, buth with these changes well as:

Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 3
No PEG16x or AGP Connector
Only 533 MHz FSB for future Celeron processors
Cheaper ICH6 I/O Controller Hub (not sure if RAID enabled)

That's the run-down I've seen from websites. Asus has prototypes of all 4 chipsets, some using DDR1, others using DDR2. They were showcased at CeBIT.
