EVGA X58 SLI Micro

EVGA recently announced their EVGA X58 SLI Micro.

I had been looking at the X58 SLI but this board is more inline with what I really want.
Twp PCI Express (double wide) slots - I only plan on two way SLI and (PCIe x 16) is so much faster than 32-bit PCI

• 32-bit PCI ==> Peak transfer rate of 133 MB/s
• PCIe X16 2.0 ==> 500 MB/s[

Support for the full range of i7 processors
A better solution than previous EVGA boards to cooling the northbridge

From the spec sheet:
Expansion Slots

• 2 x PCIe x16, 1 x PCIe x1, 1 x PCI
• 1 x 32-bit PCI, support for PCI 2.1

Storage I/O

• 1 x UltraDMA133
• 6 x Serial ATA 300MB/sec with support for RAID 0, RAID1, RAID 0+1, RAID5, JBOD

Integrated Peripherals

• 8 Channel High Definition
• 1 x 10/100/1000

Multi I/O

• 1 x PS2 Keyboard
• 1 x PS2 Mouse
• 1 x Parallel Port
• 2 x Serial Ports
• 8 x USB2.0 ports (4 external + 4 internal headers)

Audio connector (Line-in, Line-out, MIC)

• FireWire 1394A (1 external, 2 header)

Form Factor

• mATX Form Factor
• Length: 9.6in - 243.6mm
• Width: 9.6in - 243.6mm

A nice touch is the EVGA EZ Voltage - points at the top of the motherboard for 100% accurate power testing. The over clockers are going to love that.

Support for PCI Express 2.0 (500 MB/s) would have been nice but still, at $200, a really great job.

EDIT: Fixed a small typo. And I think that I misread their webpage. While it doesn't say PCIe 2.0 X 16, the same wording is used on the E758 webpage and it is PCIe 2.0. So I updated the above to reflect this. Time for a beer.
