SUPoX AP58+ GTR Motherboard Pictured
SUPoX follows other tier-one manufacturers such as ASUS, MSI and Gigabyte, with its motherboard based on the Intel "Tylersburg" X58 chipset. The motherboard supports the upcoming Intel Core i7 series processors, with its LGA-1366 socket. Perhaps it sticks to older memory specifications from Intel, that stated the i7 processors to support DDR3-1066 memory standard. It features three long PCI-Express x16 slots. The two red ones do x16, x16 when two video cards are connected. When all three slots are populated, the PCI-Express lanes arrange as x16 (red), x8 (red 2), x8 (yellow).
Optionally, the package includes Q-Fi wireless network controller. The six SATA II ports routed to the ICH10R southbridge provide RAID functions. Additional controllers handle E-SATA and two internal ports, and the E-IDE port. As with most X58 motherboards, it features six DDR3 DIMM slots for tri-channel memory. There's no word out on its pricing and availability yet.

Who raised Epox from the grave?
ROFL @ 'Quick your Life' on heatsink :laugh:!
It is too bad you missed out on the glory days of AMD overclocking then. Besides the CMOS issue that plagued all nForce2 boards, the Epox was beast at overclocking. The 8RDA was a very nice board... To buy Intel at that time was a joke, funny how things spin.
I feel like an oldie, because I know the brand, and do not give a rats-rear about color schemes.
But I cannot wait to quicken my life... maybe we have to suck on the heatsink or heatpipes for poisons or something?
If they are priced right, then we could see the new Abit/Epox for sure.

Back on topic, Im guessing these will be just about the cheapest x58 motherboards around, by the looks of them... anyone else want to make a guess at the price?
Hmm I saw on Abit UK's website they are moving to another building. Does that mean they are still continuing business or they evolve into something else?
I don't Abit to go away:cry:
