ASUS P6T7 & P7P55 WS Workstation Motherboards Reviews

Wed 2010-03-17 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

PC Perspective have reviewed two Workstation series motherboards from ASUS, the X58-based P6T7 and P55-based P7P55 WS.

Here's what they had to say:

"Both the ASUS P6T7 and P7P55 WS motherboards offer a slightly different set of features and specifications than the traditional motherboard in the gaming market. The P6T7 definitely is impressive for high-end users that are going to want to take advantage of multiple graphics card or other PCI Express-based accessories as it includes a total of 7 PCIe x16 slots along with the X58 chipset and support for the latest LGA1366 processors, including the upcoming Gulftown 6-core CPU. The offers a more standard configuration with support for LGA1156 processors (like Lynnfield and Clarkdale) along with 5 PCIe x16 slots.

Pricing for the P6T7 WS is high at $399 currently while you can pick up the P7P55 WS for $229. Neither motherboard is what we would call "typical" for a standard gamer or PC enthusiast but if you are looking for a very specific use case with needs for this type of connectivity then I think you will be more than happy with these options."

If your idea of a great motherboard consists of the most PCI-E x16 slots possible, then these two motherboards should definitely interest you.
