ASUS has updated its line up once again with yet another addition to the P7P55D family of motherboards. The P7P55D-E Premium brings the highly anticipated USB 3.0 and SATA 6G features to Intel's LGA1156 platform but what does that mean for the enthusiast?
The Maximus III Extreme is the newest member of ASUS ROG (Republic of Gamers) product line, with the board squarely aimed at the high end enthusiast market. With the stiff competition in the Intel arena currently, this board definitely has its work cut out for it. We take a good look at what the MIIIE can do for the air and water cooling overclockers.
Today AMD is announcing its newest generation motherboard chipset family on the Gigabyte 890GPA-UD3H motherboard. It is comprised of the 890GX Northbridge, and SB850 Southbridge. If you are looking for a board with integrated graphics, you had better put the AMD 890GX on your short list. We are more excited about seeing native SATA 6Gb/s RAID than anything else, and we queue up a 4-disk RAID 0 array worthy of 4TB.
There has been a lot of talk about the new "Serial ATA Revision 3.0 specification." New motherboards are now on the market with "SATA 6Gb/s" controllers, but what does all this mean to the enthusiast? Heck, what does "SATA 3" mean?

The X58A-UD7 is GIGABYTE's newest entry into the fiercely competitive LGA1366 board arena. The board packs a lot of promise, built on GIGABYTE's tried and true X58 based design with some nice bells and whistles added for that extra bit of appeal including USB 3.0 and SATA III features.
The ASUS Maximus III Gene expands not only the Republic of Gamers product line, but the lineage of "Maximus" motherboards ASUS has created under the name. Thus far every Maximus board has been nothing short of excellent and even bordering on legendary, the Maximus III Gene continues this tradition.
As DFI’s newest member of it much vaunted LANParty series of motherboards, the DK P55-T3eH9 seems more than willing and able to step up to its legacy. But will this be the last ATX motherboard we see out of DFI?
BIOSTAR, a company often overlooked by enthusiast users, emerges with its P55 based motherboard. The TPOWER I55 packs enough power under the hood to put some fear in to the competition. This is not the first good enthusiast motherboard we have seen from BIOSTAR.
USB 3.0 is now arriving on motherboards from the likes of GIGABYTE and ASUS. What should we expect from SuperSpeed USB 3.0? It looks like it will actually live up to its nickname!

MSI’s latest Intel P55 based board looks to be cut from the same mold as its big brother P55-GC80 motherboard. The GD65 is mean, lean, and ready to rumble. While it does not pack in all the features of the GD80, the GD65 does not act like a $155 motherboard.
