Hello,
I've been running a ASUS P6X58D Premium MB for about 1 1/2 years and have been happy with it. Last Friday it got zapped through the eithernet line and now I need to replace it, but no one seems to carry it any more. What would be the best replacement for it? I do only CAD work on the machine, it's got a i7 960, 6gb of DDR3 2000 ram (that I'm upgrading to 12gb) and a nvidia Quadro FX 1800 video card.

The only fault I had with the ASUS P6X58D Premium is that it could have had more USB inputs.

Thank you,

Dave
 
The Asus Sabertooth X58 should be a good replacement.

You can use adapter cards to increase number of USB ports.
