Once again the feature list is pretty standard fare for a P45 based product. The only discrepancy that stands out is that most P45 based motherboards support at least FSB1600MHz/ DDR2 1066 speeds, the P45T-A only lists support for FSB1333/DDR2 800 speeds respectively. We will explore in the testing section, if any performance deviance can be detected, from the slightly handicapped stock memory bandwidth.
