The introduction of the new LGA1156 platform and Lynnfield CPUs inevitably brought with them a wave of new motherboards; this time it's the P55 PCH (Platform Controller Hub) that the boards are built around with the P57 to come.

ASUS are always on the ball when it comes to new releases and this is no exception with the P7P55D range including a number of different boards from the basic layout right up to the more expensive Premium and Pro editions. The Deluxe board, which we are looking at specifically today, can be considered a fairly typical ASUS motherboard with a Deluxe version in most series including the P45 and P6T ranges.

Typically, this board has a good reputation besides a few poor product releases in the past and so we are hopeful of yet another good offering here from the giant PC Company. Let's see what it's got to offer.
