The USB 3.0 ports will require their own chip. I don't know the specs of that chip but it may be that it can only control two ports. Plus the chip costs money, and adds complexity to the board because it has to be connected internally to the PCI Express bus. ]]>Jul 20th 2009 8:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/20/asus-p6x58-premium-motherboard-arrives-complete-with-usb-3-0-por/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/20/asus-p6x58-premium-motherboard-arrives-complete-with-usb-3-0-por/Jul 20th 2009 6:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/20/asus-p6x58-premium-motherboard-arrives-complete-with-usb-3-0-por/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/20/asus-p6x58-premium-motherboard-arrives-complete-with-usb-3-0-por/Jul 20th 2009 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/20/asus-p6x58-premium-motherboard-arrives-complete-with-usb-3-0-por/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/20/asus-p6x58-premium-motherboard-arrives-complete-with-usb-3-0-por/Jul 20th 2009 6:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/20/asus-p6x58-premium-motherboard-arrives-complete-with-usb-3-0-por/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/20/asus-p6x58-premium-motherboard-arrives-complete-with-usb-3-0-por/Jul 20th 2009 6:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/20/asus-p6x58-premium-motherboard-arrives-complete-with-usb-3-0-por/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/20/asus-p6x58-premium-motherboard-arrives-complete-with-usb-3-0-por/
