Has a pair of x16 PCIe slots

We spotted some pictures of Gigabyte's upcoming GA-MA78G-S3H motherboard over at the Xfastest forum and it looks like it will be one of the most well-featured ATX boards with the 780G chipset, as other models we've seen have had quite scarce feature sets.

This is the first 780G board we've seen to feature a pair of x16 PCIe slots, although the second slot only has an x4 interface, much as Intel's P35 of 965P chipsets. The board also features three x1 PCIe slots and two PCI slots.

Around the back you'll find two PS/2 ports, a DVI, D-sub and HDMI port, four USB 2.0 ports, a Gigabit Ethernet port, a FireWire connector and 7.1-channel audio with optical S/PDIF out. Furthermore, it has six SATA ports, four headers for eight additional USB 2.0 ports, two headers for two additional FireWire ports, an IDE connector, a floppy drive connector, and oddly enough, a front-mounted parallel port header.
