wow - I didn't realise this one was coming out!
It looks a lot better (aesthetically) than the DFI equivalent, so I may well get one.
Thanks for the brilliant review Jim!

Cheers for the feedback guys. Have to say that playing with S775 again rekindled an old flame for me.
Ghost: Just noticed your Q. Bit hard to say without being able to say much about the P55, but I think it's going to all lay in the overclocking. Some say the i5 chips will be crap overclockers because Intel will have learned from their i7 920 'mistake', but I personally don't know.
