ASUS First w/ Motherboard Carrying USB 3.0
November 1, 2009 by ccjames
Looks like Asus has already beat Intel to creating the very first USB 3.o compliant motherboard. It’s an Intel P55-based mobo and it uses third party controllers for a pair of USB 3.0 ports.
The “Xtreme Design P7P55D-E” has 10 USB ports too. It also supports CrossFire and SLI with a pair of PCIe x 16 slots, a pair of Gigabit ethernet ports, and eSATA. Of course, there’s no price or date for this thing yet.
Keeping in mind the voltage fluctuation problem faced in India, ASUS - a global leading manufacturer of IT products had very recently introduced the P5KPL-AM/PS motherboard with Anti-surge technology. This motherboard was especially designed for Indian consumers. Now going one step further, ASUS has decided to offer Burnt warranty on the P5KPL-AM / PS (Anti-surge) motherboard.
ReplyDeleteTalking about this new warranty policy, Mr. Vinay Shetty – Country Head – Component Products, ASUS (India) said, “Offering burnt warranty on the P5KPL-AM/PS motherboard is another way of giving our customers total peace of mind when buying an ASUS product. The P5KPL-AM/PS motherboard was conceived by our R&D team especially keeping the Indian environment in mind and under this new warranty policy, the company will replace the motherboard that’s burnt due to power fluctuation. With this little step of providing a real solution to the loss a user could have had due to the power fluctuation problem we want make a strong impression in the mind of our partners in business and to the users at large that we are a brand that cares for our customers and work towards a real solution. Technically such innovative technology would have made its entry in the high end product line but we wanted this to be a product of the common man; the one who faces the brunt of the power fluctuations.”
