Asus Releases Board With USB 3.0 Support

While we love USB 2.0, we’re certainly looking forward to USB 3.0, and the news that Asus’s new P7DP55DE-E Premium motherboard will support the upcoming USB 3.0 standard is certainly good news. While the motherboard itself uses Intel’s P55 Express Chipset which doesn’t support USB 3.0, it does include a third-party controller to incorporate 2 SuperSpeed USB ports, along with a cool 10 USB 2.0 ports. If speed is your thing, there are also two 6Gb/s SATA ports and 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports included. This motherboard should be available in a few weeks, and should be retailing for $299.
