I finally decided to buy some new components. I set my eyes on an Intel X48-powered motherboard from Asus which I thought would be one of the most feature-packed model out there, but it turns out that it’s already outdated. Motherboard manufacturers have started to come up with models powered by the bran new Intel P45 chipset, and now I’m confused again.
CPU3D reports that one of the best Intel-based motherboards available could prove to be ASRock’s P45R2000-WiFi because it is currently the only model to support FSB2000 MHz (via OC). As far as memory support goes, this model supports both DDR2 and DDR3 modules. DDR3 modules are becoming pretty affordable these days and soon, the DDR2 memory support will be discontinued.
Other standard features that come with the P45R2000-WiFi motherboard include the latest PCIE2.0 specifications for improved graphics performance, Dual Gigabit LAN, free bundled WiFi-802.11g module, ALC890 Audio Codec for 110dB sound quality and all solid capacitors design. There’s no support for SLI configurations. The ASRock motherboard has two PCIE2.0 graphics slots which allow users to choose x16 for single card or x8/x8 for Cross Fire.
The P45R2000-WiFi motherboard seems to be offering a very good price/performance ratio, as online retailers have it for around $150.
