Enad, P55 replaced P45. X58 replaced X48. Didn't you have an ASUS Rampage II Extreme, an X48 motherboard? If it sucked then it's ASUS's own fault. I'm eager to see what subvendors will do with this new X58 platform.

No I had a Intel DP45 Extreme, and it sucked, then I bought the Asus Rampage Extreme and it owned.

Didn't know you had both. I would never buy a board made by Intel but it's about time USB 3.0 is made standard.

It didnt support 4870x2, 4870 or 8600. So I was stuck with 8800 for a few months until I gathered the cash for the Rampage Extreme.
