The former being the top of the range, whilst the latter being aimed towards the Gamer and the Overclocking enthusiast. Last but possibly not least was the product by DFI (Diamond Flower International). If one recalls correctly the first of the starting line was the MSI Eclipse followed by Asus and Gigabyte. Over the last seven months manufacturers have been lining up for the public’s attention on their particular ‘spin’ of the X58 architecture. Seven months ago Intel released the specifications of the X58 system boards in order to enable the public to utilise the new processor, then yes one could say that we do live in ‘interesting times’. With the advent of the Intel ‘Core I7’ and its promising architecture, motherboard manufacturers have been eager to exploit this new technology to the fullest. May you live in interesting times: An old Chinese proverb that fits in with the computer industry these days.
