The feature that sums up the DP55KG is the Back2Bios button on the I/O panel. If your PC completely and utterly locks up you can press the button and guarantee to boot into the Bios set-up. It’s not exciting but it is superb insurance.

It’s been few months since AnandTech featured a P55 board review, but while Intel is expanding on their high-end with $1,100 Core i7 980X CPU’s, their low-to-mid-range P55 platform is still the one on most people’s radars. Today we’re looking at two I...

Easytounderstand PCIE slots and that coolass skull.

The Intel board is a strange one. While they think a "skull" on the board is cool, which maybe is on Helloween, most of the components are not highend. So you have to pay for the name, but get a board which does work without flaws. We hope Intel will...

Perhaps as important as its ample list of features and capacity for overclocking is the DP55KG’s anticipated $200 price. P55 is decidedly a midrange chipset, and high-end boards priced over $200 tread dangerously close to where a majority of X58-based platforms...
