Gigabyte H55M Reviews

There are some interesting things to note about the new Core processors from Intel (Core i7 and Core i5).  Core i7 comes in 2 different socket configurations that also require completely different chipsets.  Core i5 comes in 2 "core" configurations but share the same socket requirements but require different chipsets depending on what features you are intending to use.

P55 and H55 are the current 1156 enabled chipsets (Core i5).  P55 is the mainstream option for desktop systems without onboard graphics.  H55 is basically the same thing but enables you to use the on-die GPU found in some Core i5 processors.(the dual core ones)

Gigabyte currently has one of the most popular H55 motherboards on the market, and here we have a couple of reviews for you to look over.
