Asus suggests, with the solution P6T, a motherboard for Intel Core CPU I7 the price tends to be more affordable than it has been so far

With the gradual spread of Intel Core I7 in lists of retailers we assumed the marketing of new motherboards Socket LGA 1366, with price levels lower than so far proposed to market by several Taiwanese manufacturers.

One of the main limits on the dissemination of Intel Core I7, based on the architecture known as the code name of Nehalem, is related to the cost of motherboards, which given the technological innovations implemented in these processors can no longer be the Socket 775 LGA combined the Intel Core 2 processors.

Suffice it to think of architecture as the memory controller, which was integrated into the processor in the Core CPU I7 while in previous processor architectures Intel was inside the chipset, a choice of this kind involves the compatibility of these processors with DDR3 memory only up to triple channel configurations.

Asus is preparing to start marketing the motherboard P6T, simplified version of the model P6T Deluxe to be able to reach price levels not absolute economic sense but lower than offered by Asus hours for this type of processors. The card uses a power circuitry of the processor to 8 2 stages, while 2 other stages are specifically dedicated for the memory controller integrated into the processor.

Asus did not want to reduce the number of expansion slots mounted on this tab: 2 are in fact traditional PCI slot, 1 PCI Express 1x slot and 3 PCI Express 16x mechanical, or configurable as x16, x16 and x1 or alternatively as x16, x8 and x8 when you use 3 video cards in parallel. Triple SLI is maintained, compatibility with technology that ATI CrossfireX with NVIDIA SLI, even in Triple SLI configuration.
