14 DAY TRIAL // The personal computer concept has evolved significantly over the past few years, as new technologies bring increased performance into the hands of a wider number of users. Today's desktop platforms can deliver support for the latest high-end components, enabling computer enthusiasts to take advantage of an increased computing performance. On that note, a number of motherboard manufacturers are preparing to release new platforms that will provide users with support for the upcoming USB 3.0 and SATA 6.0 Gbps connectivity interfaces. Such is the case with two of ASUS' upcoming boards, the P7P55D-E Premium and the P6X58D Premium.
Both of these products have been featured with support for Intel's latest processors and also with SATA 6.0Gbps and USB 3.0 ports. As you have probably noticed from the names of the two boards, these two are built on Intel's P55 and X58 chipsets, respectively. This essentially means that they will support the latest LGA 1156 and LGA 1366-compatible processors, including the new Core i5 and Core i7 CPUs, as well as the upcoming Core i3 models, designed for the mainstream market.
Aside from that, the two boards have also been designed to support the Intel TurboV overclocking technology, which should come in handy for those users looking to extend their system's performance by tweaking the clock speed of the processor. The platforms have support for DDR3 memory technology and the aforementioned SATA 6.0 Gbps interface and also come with 7.1 channel audio, Gigabit Ethernet and two (P7P55D-E Premium) or three (P6X58D Premium) PCI Express x16 slots.
According to details that have been made available on the Internet, the two boards should make their market debut sometime next month, although pricing is yet to be unveiled. The final specifications could change, but there's a pretty good chance that the pictured designs are final and that computer enthusiasts will be able to enjoy the features and performance of the new ASUS motherboards.
