This motherboard is being armed with Intel's latest chipset, the X58 northbridge, and it was paired up with an already proven southbridge, the ICH10R. The X58 northbridge chipset has the capability of cross platforming GPU's from ATI's Crossfire to NVIDIA's SLi all on the same board. Fully supporting tri-channel DDR3 memory, using three sticks of memory instead of two sticks of memory, for even more memory bandwidth. The X58 chipset, supports up to 36 PCI-Express 2.0 lanes, so it is possible to have two PCIe x16 slots and one PCIe x4 slot on the same motherboard.
The performance of the Smackover motherboard is simply put, "Mind Blowing". Overclocking the Core i7 CPU with this motherboard is very easy compared to the Core 2 CPU's.

Remark Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website.
Due to most hardware/software vendors no longer offer support for Win9X/ME. If some vendors still has Win9X/ME drivers available, we will publish on website.
Note (Note 1) Due to Windows XP 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than 4 GB.
(Note 2) Whether 1066 MHz memory speed is supported depends on the CPU being used.
(Note 3) The DVI-D port does not support D-Sub connection by adapter.
(Note 4) Whether the CPU/system fan speed control function is supported will depend on the CPU/ system cooler you install.

5. eVGA X58 SLI Motherboard
After years of building motherboards based exclusively on core-logic from NVIDIA, today EVGA is set to introduce their first motherboard relying on a non-NVIDIA chipset; EVGA aptly named X58 SLI based on the Intel X58 ylersburg?platform with ICH10R South Bridge.
To power Intel Core i7 CPU EVGA has implemented a 8-phase power design. EVGA says they've designed the power subsystem to deliver up to 430W of power. Interestingly enough EVGA cools the power circuitry with a dual heatpipe cooler. Some of the preproduction board shots suggested that the heatpipes would be made from copper, but it seems like EVGA changed their plans for the final retail product, as the heatpipes are made from aluminum.
EVGA North Bridge cooling is similar to the coolers EVGA has implemented on their newer 790i SLI FTW boards. The cooler consists of a heatsink+fan unit that is responsible for keeping the North Bridge of the chipset cool.
