There is a total of eight SATA ports, two of which are SATA 3 and up to 12 USB ports! So whether you are building a office computer (perhaps a bit of overkill) or a top notch gaming rig, the Intel DX58SO2 has plenty of expansion for whatever you need! The expansion slots are plentiful with three PCIe X16, two PCIe X1, and even an old school PCI slot.


USB 3.0 and SATA 3 are both supported through discrete chips onboard the DX58SO2. The Intel DX58SO2 has just about every feature under the sun. That means many users out there are running the early boards that didn’t have SATA 6Gb/s, SuperSpeed USB 3.0 and many of the other features and improvements that have been made or discovered since 2008. Early adopters of the X58 platform also might be looking for a newer motherboard as the Intel X58 Express chipset first came out back in November 2008. The Intel X58 Express chipset still has one major advantage over the socket LGA1155 systems though, six-core processors! If you are in need of a processor like the Intel Core i7 990X which runs six cores and an additional six threads, then the Intel X58 chipset is the only way to go, for now. That may be true for those that are building a brand new system as the performance of the new Intel P67 platform will dominate the scene when looking at clock-to-clock performance between the two processors. Some may argue, that building an Intel X58 system right now, is a bit of a waste. The DX58SO2 X58 motherboard is the latest and greatest motherboard from Intel for their X58 chipset.
