#asus motherboards

I was able to attend the ASUS Technical Seminar in Singapore where leading motherboard-manufacturer showcased their next-generation motherboards that will support the upcoming Intel processors code-named “Sandy Bridge”. The 2nd generation Core i3/i5/i7 processors (6-series chipsets) will be released early next year and with it comes a requirement for the new LGA-1155 socket motherboard and this is what ASUS revealed in the seminar. The upcoming ASUS P67 motherboards will have the latest tools and features that will help you maximize your processor. These new motherboards are already equipped with a lot of fancy features: DIGI+ VRM, Dual Intelligent Processors (EPU + TPU), EFI BIOS, USB 3.0 ready (new Intel chipsets don’t have it so it's up to motherboards to have an off-chip controller for USB 3.0 support) and a set of handy utilities on its AI Suite. Allow me to briefly discuss some of the new set of features you can find in these motherboards in a not-so-geeky way. Fortunately, ASUS has an onboard controller to support USB 3.0 devices including a front panel box which fits on the floppy disk bay for more USB 3.0 ports. The new P67 motherboards are fully-loaded with more features. ASUS really takes pride on their motherboards and this early announcement of the new P67s shows the commitment they have in keeping up to date with the latest technology out there.
