Two Extra Sata3 Ports
A USB 3 Bracket
Two Firewire ports
One Extra eSATA Port.
Some extra audio related features.

goto ASUS site, open the product pages. click on compare and hit the compare list link and you will get the detailed comparison.

Maximus IV Gene-Z is a better buy if a lot of SATA ports, USB ports, PCIe lanes are not required. Also, it ships with a FREE 1yr license of Kaspersky Antivirus and Daemon Tools Pro...(if we don't want to download them from other unRELIABLE sources) :p

Depends On You.

Primarily it refers to the size of a motherboard. It's actually about 80% (or so) the size of an ATX board. It should (the mobo) mount on the same bolt pattern as an ATX board, however, it won't cover all the holes.

When other products, (heat sinks, cases, power supplies and such), are mentioned in conjunction with Matx, it's generally to imply compatibility.

Intel lists Matx (motherboards) as about 9.60" x 9.60".

The ATX specs are 11.60" x 9.60".

With respect to cases a Matx only case would likely be called a "mini-tower".
Almost all "mid-tower" cases would accept both spec boards.

if you don't need a lot of hard disk, and don't plan a SLI or Crossfire then get this board with a ubercool cabinet with transparent side panel! It'll be a kickass showoff+functional setup! \m/
btw, opt for those cabinets which offer good cable management through side panels!

don't worry...buy online, you will get the full warranty...if you don't want to use credit/debit card/bank transfer, then opt for COD if they offer that...
