On the plus side, at least the thing is an i5/i7, I'd hate to think the awkward delays means we'd end up with a slower dual core and ultra-fast peripherals.]]>Oct 28th 2009 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/asus-changes-course-unveils-first-usb-3-0-sata-6gbps-mother/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/asus-changes-course-unveils-first-usb-3-0-sata-6gbps-mother/Oct 28th 2009 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/asus-changes-course-unveils-first-usb-3-0-sata-6gbps-mother/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/asus-changes-course-unveils-first-usb-3-0-sata-6gbps-mother/Oct 29th 2009 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/asus-changes-course-unveils-first-usb-3-0-sata-6gbps-mother/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/asus-changes-course-unveils-first-usb-3-0-sata-6gbps-mother/Oct 28th 2009 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/asus-changes-course-unveils-first-usb-3-0-sata-6gbps-mother/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/asus-changes-course-unveils-first-usb-3-0-sata-6gbps-mother/Oct 28th 2009 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/asus-changes-course-unveils-first-usb-3-0-sata-6gbps-mother/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/asus-changes-course-unveils-first-usb-3-0-sata-6gbps-mother/Oct 28th 2009 1:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/asus-changes-course-unveils-first-usb-3-0-sata-6gbps-mother/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/asus-changes-course-unveils-first-usb-3-0-sata-6gbps-mother/
So i think the usb 3.0 controller is in the motherboard.

Details can be found in the manuals on their site, and in forums where people bitch about it.

I fail to see how they are different than every other mobo, they are in the same spot.

Early adopters almost always get the shaft, some times worse than others. I have heard rumor of higher core count i7 chips coming to the 1366 socket some time late 09/ early 10. The Xeon lines still use the socket and there are a ton of chips out in that pin count on the workstation/server side so their is some hope yet for the socket.]]>Oct 28th 2009 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/asus-changes-course-unveils-first-usb-3-0-sata-6gbps-mother/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/asus-changes-course-unveils-first-usb-3-0-sata-6gbps-mother/Oct 28th 2009 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/asus-changes-course-unveils-first-usb-3-0-sata-6gbps-mother/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/asus-changes-course-unveils-first-usb-3-0-sata-6gbps-mother/Oct 28th 2009 7:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/asus-changes-course-unveils-first-usb-3-0-sata-6gbps-mother/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/asus-changes-course-unveils-first-usb-3-0-sata-6gbps-mother/
