Asus P5Q Deluxe
Socket 775; ATX; Newest review: 6/2008

More information at: PC Pro, 8/2008 Asus P5Q Deluxe Support for Intel's latest 45nm CPUs was supposed to be a stand-out feature of the P45 chipset, but most of the newer P35 motherboards offering support for these after a simple firmware update or tweak, it remains to be seen whether motherboards like the P5Q Deluxe from Asus have enough to pique the interest of hardware enthusiasts. … to review

MSI P45C Neo-FIR
Socket 775; ATX; Newest review: 4/2009
Reasonable connectivity and the choice of DDR2 or DDR3 in up to 8GB don't really do much to recommend MSI's P45C Neo-FIR motherboard. Other than the choice of RAM types, which in the former

More information at: TrustedReviews, 4/2009 MSI P45C Neo-FIR Even with the ascendency of Intel's Core 2 Duo and Quad in recent years, the P45 remains popular despite its immanent demise when Intel upgrades the Core 2 with the i5. MSI's P45C Neo-FIR is a curious release, sitting in this in-between field. Single Test. One motherboard was reviewed and rated on features and layout, performance and value. An overall score out of 10 was given. … to review

Product information and further reviews
Asus Striker II NSE TrustedReviews 6/2008 - Will the updated Asus Striker II NSE beat off the competition and beat down it's price or strike out?
MSI P43 Neo TrustedReviews 6/2008 - Not everyone can afford the latest and greatest motherboard but that doesn't mean they have to stay out of date.
Asus P5KC Computer Shopper 01/2008 - DDR3 memory is widely available, but it's still very expensive compared to DDR2. You can expect to pay around £250 for 2GB, which is why we didn't include it in our memory Labs. If you're building a new PC, this could leave you with a problem. You may not want to get DDR3 because of the price, but you'll also want to use it in future to get the best performance possible. Thankfully, Asus has an answer to the problem: the P5KC motherboard.
Asus P5Q Deluxe TrustedReviews 6/2008 - Is the P5Q the shining star of Intel's P45 chipset or another disappointment from a new technology that promised so much?
Asus Rampage Formula TrustedReviews 4/2008 - It's been six months since I reviewed the Asus Maximus Formula Extreme. The Extreme was one of three related Asus X38 motherboards with the water cooled Extreme at the top of the tree, the Fusion block SE in the middle and the basic Maximus Formula at the bottom of the scale. Today we've got an X48 chipped Rampage Formula to review and it's the spitting image of the Maximus Formula. That makes sense as the difference between the X38 and X48 chipsets is non-existent apart from the addition of official support for a 1,600MHz front side bus and faster system memory.
MSI P6NGM Personal Computer World 3/2008 - MSI’s P6NGM is an ideal board to build a compact or home theatre PC around, especially the latter as it comes with a HDMI port on board.
Asus P5E-VM HDMI PC Pro 4/2008 - The new Asus P5E-VM HDMI microATX motherboard comes packaged with a hefty feature list that will have home-entertainment buffs drooling. Complete with HDMI output, integrated graphics that support DirectX 10 and capacity for 8GB of RAM, it's a formidable choice for a media-centre PC.
MSI X48 Platinum PC Pro 4/2008 - MSI's striking X48 Platinum motherboard is the first we've seen to feature Intel's newest chipset. As well as support for the latest DDR3 memory, it can handle Intel's cutting-edge 45nm processors.
MSI P7N SLI Platinum TrustedReviews 2/2008 - The MSI P7N SLI motherboard uses the new Nvidia nForce 750i SLI chipset so let's get straight to the silicon at the heart of the matter. Although we had a few issues with the nForce 600 family of chipsets due to their price and colossal heat output you knew exactly what you were getting in each case. The 680i SLI supports three graphics slots, the 650i SLI supports regular SLI and the 630i does none of the above as it has a single graphics slot.

Information about the category
Socket 775 is the newest CPU interface from Intel supporting the Pentium 4, Pentium D and Pentium Extreme Editions as well as the new dual core desktop chip nicknamed Conroe but also known as Core 2 Duo. The CPU is the 'brain' of a computer, dealing with all instructions and requests for every process from graphics to mouse and keyboard input. The use of a socket for the processor is much more practical than the old method of soldering the processor onto the motherboard. Were this to be the case the whole motherboard or computer would have to be swapped were the processor to develop a fault, with the socket, the processor can be safely swapped or upgraded by the end user with a minimum of effort and fuss. New technologies such as socket 775 utilise a so called ZIF socket. ZIF stands for Zero Insertion Force and means that the processor does not need to be forced into placed and instead will simply fall into place under its own weight and will then be clamped into place by pushing down a lever. Socket 775 was introduced in 2004 and allows for higher frequencies than the older socket 478 which was introduced at the same time as the Pentium 4. There is also improved power distribution and support for faster memory types. Another new modification of socket 775 is that the pins to connect to the processor are no longer found on the processor but rather on the motherboard. The underside processor contains connection pads which make contact with the spring-loaded, motherboard-mounted pins and thereby reduce resistance and improve efficiency. This also has the effect of avoiding the problem of bent processor pins which could have been a problem if processor were not handled with due care. Socket T continues to evolve to incorporate suppoort for new technologies and is, for the forseeable future, the socket of choice for Intel based systems.
