Gigabyte's new X58 range of motherboards

Rectron has launched Gigabyte's new X58 range of motherboards, which have been designed from the ground up to unleash the power of the world's fastest PC processors -- Intel's next-generation Core i7 processor series as well as the new Intel X58 Express chipset.
Targeted at power users ranging from part-time gamers to extreme overclockers, Gigabyte's X58 series builds on a wide array of cutting-edge technologies such as Quick Path Interconnect (QPI), which replaces the Front Side Bus, as well as triple channel DDR3, and three-way SLI or Quad CrossfireX, says Tony Chiang-Lin, Rectron Component Business Manager.
Particularly noteworthy is QPIs transfer rate of 25.6GB/Sec, double the bandwidth of the 1600MHz FSB, which eliminates the communications bottleneck between the processor and chipset. The Core i7 Processors features an integrated memory controller inside the processor die, which supports 192 bit triple-channel DDR3 memory and is capable of delivering a 50 percent memory bandwidth enhancement and lower memory latency for incredibly fast memory access, all supported through the X58 Chipset.
Additionally, the Gigabyte X58 Series supports Intel Turbo Boost Technology, which can power down idle processor cores and dynamically reroute the power to the active cores for significant performance boosts, and at the same time, maintain greater energy efficiency.

joshuarevelo you can install 3 Gtx280s and it supports 24gb of ram and it supports the newest intel cpu i7 :D

Can I install a geforce GTX280 in this motherboard? Is this motherboard particularly in PCI-Express 2?

best mobo hands down, it supports up to 16gb of ddr3. 4 is more than you need in ddr3. and the new i7 are damn powerfull it never goes beyond 30% of its power. even while doing multiple instals and running tasks such as norton360 and multiple games
