Choosing the Best H55/H57 Motherboard
 

The only way to get dual GPU capabilities from Clarkdale CPUs is to use them in a supporting P55 motherboard. Weird, no? The segregation would make sense if Intel offered the H55 and H57 chipsets to vendors at a substantially reduced price in comparison to P55. Clearly, that's not happening at present, as the H57 costs $3 more than the P55 before you've even put a component on the motherboard.

So where does this leave H57? The only thing it has to offer Clarkdale is a few extra PCI-E lanes, two extra USB ports, and RAID. If you're going to use the IGP, you don't really need the extra PCI-E lanes, which essentially means that you're paying for the option to run RAID on the H57 PCH. We also fail to see the attraction of running a Lynnfield processor in an H57 board; the H57 boards would need to come in at least $20 cheaper than entry level P55 boards, or offer some form of performance enhancement for it to start making sense.

Reviewer did not do propper research:

200BCLK with IGP enabled is not a problem if you know what is causing the instability. I'm disappointed that SO few people actually know what is going on ... :-/

I request a counter article outlining this :-)

I actually have my mails to Gigabyte as some sort of explanation. It seems even Gigabyte doesn't believe what I'm trying to point out and are asking for "more evidence" ...

I do their R&D, give them the solution for free ... and I have to prove it :-/

ok, so what's going on :p ? It's not like raja is a greenie so I bet he would like to know too :)

Working on the article and gathering last tests ... there's more to it that what I had in mind first, but then again I did expect it to be more difficult :p

BTW, already got upto 220MHz BCLK ;)
