Even though Intel isn’t officially launching its upcoming Core i5 and Core i5 Lynnfield core processors and P55 Express chipset until the second week of September, there is already much talk about the next generation mainstream performance platform...
Abstract: And as such, technically, they all would be worthy of our "Recommended" award. Even from the standpoint of the board that consistently brought up the rear in our benchmarks (the MSI P55-GD65), you really can't go wrong with any of these products and again, our benchmark variances were mostly negligible in terms of..
Now that we've highlighted each board, I can now go against what I said and declare a winner. The winner, due to it catering to exactly what I enjoy, is the EVGA P55 FTW. I'll be holding on to all the boards in anticipation of the 32nm LGA1156 pro...

We are not happy with the choices of some components MSI made. OC Genie does..
The new Lynnfield-based Core i7 and Core i5 processors in the LGA1156 socket offer a new level of performance for a mid-market price that we haven't seen in a long time. Even though you can find P55 motherboards selling for as little as $119 today, T...
