USB 3.0 has been in the making for some time now and yet we still haven’t seen an actual consumer-ready implementation of the technology.

Along comes ASUS and debuts their P6X58 Premium motherboard touting none other than USB 3.0. In addition to the updated USB port, you’ll be getting 3 USB 2.0 orts, Core i7 compatibility, 6 DDR3 RAM slots, 3 PCI-Express 2.0 slots, and everything else you’d normally see on a motherboard.

Unfortunately there are no release dates or price points announced but if previous reports stay true we will see this thing hit the market before the end of the year or early next.

Once again, Kingston Technology has made another first by offering the first 12GB Triple-Channel DDR3 HyperX 1600MHz Memory Kit for Intel Core i7 systems. Kingston has had that knack of being the first to offer new memory modules such as the 2GB and the 4GB, memory chips important to support the latest Intel Core processors.

“Our latest kit of three was tested with great success on the Asus P6T Deluxe motherboard and runs at a speedy 1600MHz to take full advantage of the memory controller on the Core i7 processor for unmatched performance.” - Mark Tekunoff, senior technology manager, Kingston

The 12GB kit is the largest kit available to date in the HyperX family of triple-channel memory solutions. Smaller capacity kits are available that support frequencies of up to 2GHz. The Kingston HyperX is backed by a lifetime warranty.

Are we going to have USB 3.0 ports available inside the upcoming laptops? We’ve been waiting for them for quite a while.

Intel has draft 0.9 ready of the USB 3.0 specification for manufacturers like AMD and NVIDIA. That means that all future motherboards will have offer the same technology so there won’t by any incompatibilities for any of the users.

The move follows AMD and NVIDIA’s threat to develop their version of USB 3.0 if Intel fails to disclose their work on it. Intel excuse was that they simply were not ready yet and they didn’t want to release any unfinished work.

Well than, Intel, AMD or NVIDIA, when am I going to get my USB 3.0 already?
