With the impending release of Intel's Core i7/Nehalem CPUs less than a week away, we're starting to see reviews of the X58 Express chipset motherboards trickle out. And a trickle it is as we've only seen a couple of reviews and those are on the ASUS P6T Deluxe X58 motherboard. While we're waiting for more news, have another look at the Core i7 processors (also recently reviewed by OCC here). If you're looking to upgrade and a Nehalem processor is not in the cards, the existing X48 chipset boards still offer a lot of life, especially if you're running an existing Intel Core 2 Duo or Quad CPU and we have the MSI X48 Platinum in our roundup today. As you can see from the links below, our roundup includes a lot more for you to look at, so enjoy your reading.
