ASUS P5N32-SLI Premium/WiFi-AP brings nForce 590 SLI Intel Edition to the market

The motherboard incorporated three PCI Express x16 slots (two for SLI-ready dual-GPU graphics cards and one reserved for NVIDIA’s Physics card) to enable unparalleled graphics performance and gaming realism

Other notable features include 8-phase power design, integrated WiFi-AP, passive coolers, dual Gigabit Ethernet, Firewire, e.SATA, SupremeFX and DTS Connect. Asustek's SupremeFX technology places audio components on a separate riser card to improve sound quality by distancing the components away from other components which can create electrical noise. Audio is powered by an Analog Devices SoundMAX high definition audio codec for eight channels of 24-bit/192 KHz sound. DTS Connect is also supported for multi-channel audio via a single S/PDIF cable.

some thing to look out for. Though I think it will be damn costly.

Te 590 SLI chipset will soon be replaced by the C55,no idea why ASUS launched a mobo based on this.Doesn't make much sense

The independant card for sound was first introduced by Abit.......

and 3 PCI express slots is also nothing new. Its standard pci express slot.

Plenty of mobos out there have 3 PCI express x16 slots like Intel D975XBX , Jetway NF4 board, Asus P5W64 etc etc etc.

This is what we call marketing

^^Exactly. Coming back to what regenade2 said, it seems stupid to release this board which sucks at overclocking when a new nvidia intel chip is coming in a few months. This is pretty much the same nforce 4 chip
