This time around we have the ASUS P7P55 Pro motherboard running the Intel P55 Express chipset. The black and blue design holds four DIMM slots, two PCI-e X16 slots, and two PCI-e X1 slots. Ironically enough, there are still three legacy PCI slots on this modern motherboard.

The big news comes in the form that the source seems to have Intel's release dates for both Lynnfield and Havendale. If the information is correct, Intel will be releasing five Lynnfield chips on September 9, 2009, while five Havendale processors will be launched on January 10, 2010.
