With the DP55KG Intel designed a motherboard which is based on their own mainstream chipset. Performance wise you can expect the DP55KG to be a good quick but not blazingly fast motherboard. With Intels P55 approach you get everything you need to build...

Abstract: The Intel board is a strange one. While they think a "skull" on the board is cool, which maybe is on Helloween, most of the components are not highend. So you have to pay for the name, but get a board which does work without flaws. We hope Intel will..
Overclocking is one of the easiest things to do with P55 Motherboard. While the board’s components can affect the end result, it’s the BIOS that ultimately carries the weight of the action. Perhaps, the next BIOS update will provide the stability to ...
