It's been a while since I have last reviewed an Asus
motherboard. It's also been a while... actually, I am not going to lie, haha
-- I've never reviewed two motherboards consecutively on APH Networks before.
Because of my relatively intense workload in my second year of Electrical
Engineering, especially compared to what I have done in the past during high
school, it is often very challenging to maintain decent academic performance
while working with a demanding review schedule. This holds especially true
when it comes to reviewing motherboards. The sheer amount of writing in
conjunction with the need of benchmarking (Which includes fresh installs of
Windows every time, oh man!) is not only very time consuming, but also
requires high levels of patience and effort. But things are a bit different
this time around. After finishing my Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD6 review last week, I
simply could not contain the excitement I have for testing the latest and
greatest motherboards based off Intel's P55 Express chipset for Lynnfield
processors. This curiosity continued on, as I soon discovered that the only
way to quench this thirst is to put the motherboards through our battery of
benchmarks. So today, we'll be taking a look at the Asus P7P55D-E Premium --
Asus' high end P55 motherboard on this platform. How does it stack up against
its rival Gigabyte's enthusiast product, and does it continue the tradition
of Asus motherboards in performance, features, and quality? Let me answer
these questions in our review today!
