MSI introduces 'affordable' Core i7 X58

MSI launches a new and relatively affordable motherboard, based on
Intel's X58 chipset. This makes the MSI X58 Pro compatible with
Intel's recently introduced Core i7 processors. The board features an
ICH10R chip, supports QPI (Quick Path Interconnect) and has six
triple-channel DDR3 memory slots. Like the two AM3 motherboards that
MSI introduced last week, this board also has the second generation of
DrMOS chips and APS technology.With almost every X58 motherboard on
the market classed as "enthusiast" and therefore rather expensive, MSI
is looking to buck the trend by announcing its most affordable X58
motherboard, the X58 Pro.

The X58 Pro, just like other MSI high-end motherboard product, comes
with an onboard eSATA 3Gb/s interface to adopts the concept of plug &
play storage. It allows users to connect a backup HDD in such an easy
way requiring no complex setting and skill from users, leading to not
only less accessing time and CPU resource requirements, but also
better data transaction signal quality against hard disk failure.

Unlike the other eSATA bracket solution, X58 Pro is designed with
onboard eSATA on rear I/O to give the direct link to extra storage
chip and Intel chipset, provide the best compatibility with external
storage device and stable quality when time goes by.
