There are also other good motherboards based on the Intel Z77 chipset too !
Gigabyte motherboards have "Dual Thunderbolt Ports".

"Customers using our wide range of Thunderbolt devices will now be able to choose to work in whatever format they need, giving them the flexibility to build whatever production and post production workflow they need."
