Asus P6T: The Junior LGA1366 Mainboard with Senior Functionality

If we want to get an adequate idea of the technologies and features that contemporary mainboards possess, there are two companies in the market today, two largest mainboard developers, whose solutions we absolutely can’t miss. Of course, I am talking about AsusTeK and Gigabyte. We started getting acquainted with mainboards on Intel X58 Express chipset designed for LGA1366 socket with two top solutions from Gigabyte: GA-EX58-UD5 and GA-EX58-Extreme. We liked the functionality of both mainboards, but it is pretty difficult to be objective in judgment if there is no solution for adequate comparison. ASRock X58 SuperComputer that we have just reviewed is not quite up to this task. Today we are going to talk about the junior model in AsusTek’s lineup on Intel X58 Express chipset – Asus P6T. This will allow us to kill two birds with one stone: we will not only check out the indepth functionality of Asus mainboards for LGA1366 processors, but will also make a final conclusion about the competing solutions from Gigabyte.
