Gigabyte P55/X58 Budget USB 3.0 Motherboard Roundup
If you don't want to wait until late 2011 to experience USB 3.0 today with the Intel platform, you'll have to spring for one of the new X58 or P55 motherboards with NEC's USB 3.0 controller built-in. Fortunately Gigabyte offers a wide range of boards with this feature, and even 6Gb/sec SATA also. In today's article we take a look at Gigabyte's budget offerings for both chipsets. With prices starting as low as $120 on the P55 and $210 for X58, Gigabyte's boards are quite affordable. But are compromises made in the process? See how these boards fare in today's review!
