INTRODUCTION

 

 

 

       Although it is the Intel's high end X58 chipset that people talk about most, in the mid range the P45 chipset has reigned supreme ever since its introduction a few months back. With that being said and with the vast number of motherboards featuring the Intel P45 chipset the question on which one performs best is the most important. For some buyers it is the feature set that will ultimately make the final determination on which one to purchase while for others their purchase will be based on price and performance since the ability to reach ultra high clock speeds on the processor and memories is something many people consider normal in our days. On the table today we have a P45 Mainboard solution by ASRock, the P45XE-WiFiN.
