Biostar doesn’t belong to the first-tier mainboard makers but its products are especially interesting for this very reason. It might be an exaggeration, but I believe it would be fair to say that a market leader can actually produce a mediocre mainboard and it will sell well just because of the famous brand name on its box. Its sales will be backed up by the reputation of the brand which has been earned for years as well as by large production volumes and extensive sales channels. The market life of a Biostar mainboard is not that simple: it is not enough for a mainboard from this maker just to be available in retail. For a user to prefer it to products from ASUS or Gigabyte, it must be definitely better in some or, desirably, all respects. Biostar mainboards are far from being absolutely superior to the competition as yet, but it is interesting to test them as the manufacturer tries hard to make them special. Biostar keeps track of the newest trends in the industry and endows its products with up-to-date features and technologies while maintaining rather appealing prices. I hope you will find this review of the Biostar TH55XE mainboard (based on the Intel H55 Express chipset and designed for LGA1156 processors) interesting, too.
