ASUS P6X58 Premium motherboard with USB 3.0 taken off

The first official pictures of USB 3.0 motherboard out in the wild. That milestone comes courtesy of ASUS, which looks to have gone all out (or as far out as motherboards can go) with its new P6X58 Premium model. As you can see above, it packs a pair of easily identifiable USB 3.0 ports and three standard USB 2.0 ports, along with accommodations for a Core i7 processor, six DDR3 memory slots, three PCI-Express 2.0 slots, and plenty of other standard fare. Still no word on a price or release date, unfortunately, and the folks at Xfastest unsurprisingly weren't able to provide any benchmarks or the like, considering that there isn't much in the way of actual USB 3.0 gear to test it with just yet.


EDIT: This happiness was short lived, the company has decided to take the motherboard off of thier production list without giving any reason. But now its confirmed news that 3.0 will not be on the production for some more time. Kepp your fingers crossed buddies.
