@ 2007/12/05While all of the rage recently has been around Intel's X38
Express Chipset, there is still plenty of life left in Intel's P35
"Bearlake" Chipset. The Intel P35 is only a few months older, but it
contains most of the same features as the flagship X38 aside from the
PCI Express 2.0 support and a Hardware Memory Prefetcher. We have
previously reviewed Intel P35 motherboards such as the ASUS Blitz
Extreme and Gigabyte P35-DS3P, but in this review, we are going back and
looking at two more of these Intel Bearlake motherboards. At hand today
we have the ASUS P5K-E WiFi and Gigabyte P35-DS4 motherboards, both of
which are similar in many respects and use the P35 + ICH9R combination
with DDR2 memory.
