Nice specs, it looks original
Did you build it yourself?

funny, today a review on one of the biggest german sites released and found out that 955 is 1% faster then i5 750(or 2% slower with turbo mode).
and thats already with all those useless sse5 benchmarks !
Quote:A nice motherboard like the gigabyte p55-ud2 is 115 canadian.
nice ?
thats one of the cheapest available and nothing is nice about it.
4 phase design, utter bullshit for overclocking and only one full pci-e x16
making the use of a second gpu for gpgpu or physx etc in the future impossible.
good boards for 1156 cost about the double.
link to the review please. Even though it is the cheapest mobo, who needs more than 4 phases? You've been sucked in to marketing with 8,16 and 32 phases. It's not the number that counts. It's the quality. More phases=more current supplied. An 8 phase will give you a theoretical 350watt output, which is more than lynnfield overclocked needs. For most users, single gpu is enough. Even if there were multiple slots, they would be downclocked because lynnfield only has one x16 on die. If it can reach a baseclock of 200mhz and up, then I'm happy.
