found some photos of Gigabyte's forthcoming Z68X-UD3P-B3 motherboard. It features 14-phase VRM with driver-MOSFETs, a hybrid-EFI BIOS, two PCIe x16 slots , four SATA 6Gbps ports, and four USB 3.0 ports. Launch is expected by early May.
Expansion slots include two PCI-Express 2.0 x16 (electrical x8, x8 when both are populated), with 2-way NVIDIA SLI and AMD CrossFireX support. Storage connectivity includes four SATA 6 Gb/s (two from the Z68 PCH, two from a Marvell-made controller), and four internal SATA 3 Gb/s from the PCH. Other connectivity includes four USB 3.0 ports (two internal/by header), a number of USB 2.0 ports, FireWire, gigabit Ethernet, and 8-channel HD audio.
