The new Gigabyte X58-USB3 seems to be a nice top mainstream socket LGA1366 motherboard, with two USB 3.0 ports, three PCI Express x16 slots supporting both SLI and CrossFireX modes, six memory sockets, two BIOS chips, on-board coaxial SPDIF output, good overclocking options, and great construction quality. High-end users, however, will miss SATA-600 ports, maybe a second Gigabit Ethernet port, and probably will demand a voltage regulator circuit with more phases. If this is your case, you should look for another (probably more expensive) product, otherwise we believe you will be happy with this motherboard.
