*/Gigabyte will launch three X58 motherboards in a few weeks -- the

Extreme, the UD5P and the UD5. All will feature Ultra Durable 3 with

Gigabyte's new 2oz copper layer in the PCB, Dynamic Energy Saver

advanced, 50-squillion hour Jap caps and Dolby Home Theatre audio with

the premium Realtek AL889a sound codec.

 

Style wise, Gigabyte has heard our (and others) concerns and updated its

design massively, with a largely positive effect. While adamant that it

doesn't want to follow down the "black PCB = enthusiast" route, we think

its blue-white-silver approach looks really something fresh. While I

personally would have loved Gigabyte to have gone //that much further

and make the USB pin-outs blue and orange slots silver/grey, overall we

feel the change is certainly a step forward. Drop in some ambient blue

and white lighting in a case and this could look pretty pimped out./

*Cheers guys!
