The DX58SO was purchased to replace an ASUS X58 Sabertooth. I thought it would be really close since they were the same Intel Chipset for the controller and would use the i7 950 processor. But the Intel board did not use the same memory configuration and I had spent a lot of money on four Corsair RAM. Once I figured out to not plug the secondary power supply connection everything is working fine. You should go to the Intel website (or just use Google) and download the Instruction Manual for this board because there are differences that could be unexpected. I really had to hunt around to find the correct memory. The onboard slots are dated for anything that is trying to build a "modern" system. I am still using XP on this system with this new Intel board. I'm not convinced that the Intel Support even comes close to the ASUS support.Read full review
Exceptional motherboard. I have had poor experiences with Intel boards in the past, but not this one. I used mine for a home build to run a personal network file server. The board mounted easy and came to life on first power-up. It has sufficient USB ports for basic use. There are no USB 3.0 ports or SATA III connections but, as a better than basic board, it works very well. The built-in audio is quite good too. The Intel drivers are available from the manufacturer's website. I found them for an older Windows OS I was using. If you use Windows 7 and up, then you probably won't need many drivers. I tried running Windows XP both 32 and 64 bit. 32bit would not load and 64 bit was unstable. I am running Vista 64bit without an issue.
The motherboard have issues usb front panel heating up devices causing malfunction like my mouse and keyboard now its not working

These Intel boards are so great. It's a shame they couldn't keep it up.
