Gigabyte annoncerer M-itx USB 3.0 board Det er ikke længere siden end den 3 Juni, at vi kunne se Asus fremvise et M-itx AM3 board for pressen. Det lignede noget der var som skabt for en HTPC. Noget som en AMD platform altid har været god til. Men det er altså Gigabyte som overhaler Asus indenom. Med et nyt M-itx board til LGA1156, ser det ud til at vi har fået en ny konge på markedet for HTPC´ere.
Boardet hedder GA-H55N-USB3. Og bag det sigende navn gemmer der sig et Gigabyte M-itx board baseret på Intel H55 chipsættet. Udover det længe ventede USB 3.0 til dette format, har GA-H55N-USB3 så mange features at det er som skabt til HTPC.
