Biostar and MSI get in on the act
As with J&W, Biostar had two P55 boards lying around its under-construction booth. For the enthusiast there's the TPOWER I55, pictured below. We saw it back at CeBIT in March, but it's now packing a hefty amount of on-board cooling and should provide decent overclocking headroom, we reckon.
But again, Core i5's largely about lower-cost appeal and the non-overclocking types may prefer the look of the toned-down TP55 XE.
Last but not least, there's MSI's P55-GD80.
Remember, also, that P55 boards will support Intel's 32nm Clarkdale - a CPU+IGP part that's expected in 2010.

Isn't the nvram slot for the readyboost SSD cards you can get?
Yes, but you can just as easily use it as an OS volume.Quote
I wonder what use that slot will have TBH, it's not a SATA port so would need a special drive I guess......recovery partition? swap drive? EFI?...or just an empty port?Quote
I can't wait to see how these P55-powered motherboards and others benchmark.Quote
The boards look good. For some reason I always get a charge when I see new motherboards as opposed to video cards.
You obviously need a more thorough grounding ;)Quote
