In less than a month AMD is expected to release its first DDR3-supporting AM3 processors so motherboards manufacturers are finishing up their AM3-ready products, with Asus alone preparing eight such boards. The top dog in the 8-pack is the M4A79T Deluxe, an AMD 790FX-powered board which just got itself an unboxing photo session.

Pictured below, the M4A79T Deluxe has an 8+2 phase power design, the Express Gate feature, support for AM2, AM2+ and AM3 processors and comes with four DDR3-1600 memory slots, four PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slots for CrossFireX setups, one eSATA and five SATA 3.0 Gbps ports, 7.1 channel audio and Gigabit Ethernet. For now, the board's price tag is unknown but since it's a rather high-end (there should be AM3 ROG models in the works too) product expect it to cost over 150 Euro.
