Although we're a bit late posting this, we thought you might still be interested in some more X58 motherboard pictures. The interesting thing here is that we didn't see a single partner having boards at their booth, so all these boards could be found at Intel's booth.

First up, we wanted to show you a picture of Intel's Bloomfield system, not the fancy looking one Fudo wrote about here, but a rather plain looking box which could be found at Intel's booth running Assassin's Creed. We actually got a quick go at it and the system seemed to run very smoothly, but it might've been helped out by the Geforce 9800 GX2 graphics card.



Some of the pictures are less than ideal of the motherboards, but as we couldn't manhandle all of them to line them up all nice and suitable for photography, you have to make do with what we managed to snap. We cut out the little signs below, which is why some of the boards looks cut-off, so we apologize about that.

Let's start with Intel's DX58SO, or Smack Over, as it's more fondly known as, and it looks just like the early pictures that appeared all the way back in March. It still only has four memory slots and an overall rather unusual layout. This was also the motherboard in the test system above.



The only other manufacturer that appeared to be ready was Foxconn with its Renaissance board and Foxconn has gone for a full six memory slots, four x16 PCIe slots and a x4 slot, as well, for good measures.



Gigabyte had an unusual model name on its GA-S36-Extreme, we're not sure why Gigabyte went with 36 instead of 58, but this might well change on the final board.  Again, Gigabyte has six memory slots, just like Foxconn, although they stuck with three x16 slots and the orange slot is likely to have eight or less lanes.

Abit was showing off its IX58-MAX board and it too had six memory slots and four x16 PCIe slots. It looks like quite a simple design for a MAX board, but Abit has a lot of time to tweak this design before the boards will ship.



MSI's Tylersburg Diamond board  also had six memory slots, but as with Gigabyte, MSI went for three x16 slots. We doubt this is the final design from MSI, especially as the company has removed the little LCD display on its high-end P45 motherboards.

The T6T-VC1 from Asus looked the least finished of all the boards on display, but as you can see from the picture, it too has six memory slots and four x16 PCIe slots, as well as one x4 slot like Foxconn. This also looked like the most basic of all the boards on display.

Finally, we have an interesting entry by Mitac, who owns Tyan, among other things. This doesn't look the least like a Tyan motherboard due to its red PCB, and our guess is that the XE10TX is an OEM motherboard. Mitac has followed Intel's lead by adding just four memory slots and the board only has two x16 PCIe slots and a x8 slot. Interestingly, this board also has a mini PCIe slot, more commonly found in notebooks or on small form factor motherboards.
