Introduction & Specs
Up until now at PC Perspective, we have only looked at Intel 925X/XE chipsets. While those chipsets offered some great results for the enthusiast, not everyone was going to buy one mainly because of the price. Today we are looking at an Intel 915P motherboard by Asus. The Intel 915P offers essentially the same features as the 925X but priced lower and supports DDR1 in addition to DDR2.
