MSI prepping more affordable X58 Motherboard
 

MSI is preparing a new motherboard based on Intel's X58 chipset, the MSI X58 Pro. The new MSI X58 Pro will be a budget board that should sell at around €190.

Unlike the X58 Platinum which has two PCI-Express slots, the new MSI X58 Pro will feature three of those and you might consider it as a mix between the Eclipse and the X58 Platinum, at least at least according to PCIe slots.

Other known specs include 8-channel HD Audio, single Gigabit LAN, six SATA 3.0 Gbps ports, additional single SATA and single eSATA port, Firewire, twelve USB ports, and on-board power, reset and clear CMOS buttons. It still has six memory slots for up to 24GB of DDR3-1333/1066 triple channel memory.
