“Benchmark Reviews had the opportunity to review and launch two new Lynnfield processors from Intel: the Core i5-750 and the Core i7-870. While these were the stars of the launch, it wouldn’t be a complete platform without the motherboard. Released in parallel with the two processors, is the Intel P55 Express Chipset. In this review, we’ll examine the new chipset in detail and take a closer look at Intel’s flagship DP55KG Extreme Series Motherboard.”Here are some more Motherboard articles from around the web:

Intel’s take on the P55
We have seen a lot of different P55 boards from a lot of different companies, except for the makers themselves. The Intel DP55KG Extreme Series is their $209 flagship motherboard, sporting quite a few features, though perhaps not as many as other competitors. 6 phase power and some electrolytic capacitors might scare off the hard core enthusiast, but the board is worth taking seriously.
