Intel is breaking down the barriers when it comes to the performance and bandwidth that gamers, digital media creators, and ultimate multi-taskers need most. The Intel® Desktop Board DX58SO2 provides breakaway performance in production and editing, as well as digital media rendering and real-time audio/video preview capabilities.

The massive data throughput and support for the Intel® Core™ i7 processor Extreme Edition runs more applications simultaneously, with less wait time. SuperSpeed Universal Serial Bus (USB) 3.0, SATA 6.0 Gb/s, triple channel DDR3 memory and full support for ATI CrossfireX* and NVIDIA SLI* technology are just a few of the many features supported on this board.
