We got a new motherboard from Asus – a P55-based mobo not yet formally released but we’d like to show you the specs and some shots we took.
The Asus P7P55D Deluxe will support Intel’s Core i7 and upcoming Core i5 processors (LGA1156 Lynnfield). Based on Intel’s P55 express chipset, the Asus P7P55D can handle 4 DIMM for a maximum of 16GB of DDR3 RAM.
For expansion slots, you get 2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 and 2 PCI slots. For GPU, it can handle ATI Quad-GPU CrossFire Technology and NVidia Quad-GPU SLI. It has 6 SATA 3.0 Gb/s ports supporting SATA Raid 0, 1, 5 and 10; an Ultra DMA for 2 PATA devices and up to 14 USB 2.0 ports as well as 2 IEEE 1394a ports.

It also features dual Gigabit LAN controllers from Realtek (first mobo we’ve seen that has 2 LAN ports) as well as a Via VT2020 10-channel (9.1) hidef audio codec.
What’s more impressive about this motherboard is that it features a remote controller (Turbo Key Touch-n-Boost) for users to be able to run the Turbo Mode. This means you can select a pre-configured overclocking profile at a press of a button. This reminds me of the good old days of the 386/486 era with that turbo button.
This is, by far, the only information we can share right now (we don’t even have any price points).
The design and color is good and attractive to the eyes of the Techno Geeks….LOL
How much it cause in market as of now?
