"1.The full depth of GIGABYTE's proprietary product features is well worth the asking price, and the TPM encryption security is at the front of this list. Considering the improved real-world performance against X58-Express solutions, you can't possibly go wrong with the Gigabyte GA-P55-UD6 LGA1156 motherboard.

2.GIGABYTE has achieved near-perfect component layout on the P55-Express platform. The construction is what you would expect from a top-class premium product: second to none. "

"The two eSATA/USB Combo ports are an especially interesting new feature;Overall, the GIGABYTE GA-P55-UD5 is a solid product in terms of performance and stability. Its very aggressive nature makes it a very solid platform worthy of the most avid gamer given the better option ALC889A HD Codec out of the box. When a shot is fired from some distance off, or bullets are ricocheting around you, a gamer wants to hear it! Audio enthusiasts will also appreciate the experience as well."
