Four x16 PCIe slots

Asus showed off a range of new products at an event in Taiwan which someone from the Xfastest forum attended, and they managed to snap some pictures of Asus' upcoming P5N64 WS Pro motherboard based on the Nvidia 790i chipset.

This is a workstation board, so the consumer models will be somewhat different, but this specific model features four x16 PCIe slots, although the bottom two can only accept single slot cards if you fill up all four slots. The board also has two PCI slots and a single x1 PCIe slot.

There's nothing all that remarkable about this board. It has four memory slots, eight SATA connectors, the usual array of ports, which consist of at least dual Gigabit Ethernet, FireWire, eSATA, USB 2.0, S/PDIF out of both the optical and coaxial kind, and, of course, 7.1-channel sound.
