ASUS P7H55D-M EVO LGA1156 Motherboard Review | Posted on: 25/02/2010 @ 23:31
Intel-land is becoming a very confusing place of late. An Intel Core i7 processor might be Socket 1366, or it might be Socket 1156. A Core i5 processor might be dual core or quad core; it might have Hyper-Threading or not, or integrated video or other features, and there\'s no way to tell just from the name. And to make things even more confusing, there are now four consumer-level chipsets for ...
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 Motherboard Review | Posted on: 25/02/2010 @ 23:27

ASUS has been a longtime partner to Intel, and both companies have been made better because of their relationship. But when it comes to new technology, sometimes Intel takes a little too long to implement change while ASUS prefers to offer their faithful consumers the options right away.

The real question is whether it’s got anything over and above Intel’s own P55 type chipset. Yes it’s raw specs are better - it carries ...
