Asus P6X58 Premium to Become First USB 3.0 Mobo

Here's the picture of the month. This is an Asus P6X58 Premium - first motherboard with dual SuperSpeed USB ports powered by none other than NEC µPD720200 - the first USB 3.0 certified chipset.

The board comes with support for Core i7 CPUs, six DDR3 memory slots, 3 PCI-Express 2.0 slots, plentiful of USB 2.0 jacks and of course two USB 3.0 ports as well as SATA 3.0 interface capable of delivering 6Gbps (USB 3.0 maxes at 4.8Gbps.) The blue connectors are USB 3.0 and the ones in black are USB 2.0. It's fairly easy to tell them apart. So, the host ports are here now, drivers will likely be supplied by NEC, and what we need are some USB 3.0 gear for real world tests.
