Intel Motherboard | AMD Motherboard

Motherboards based on Intel H55, H57 and Q57 chipsets are targeted to the Core i3 and Core i5 processors with integrated video. It is important to understand that with socket 1156 CPUs, the integrated video is produced by the processor and not by the motherboard chipset, as it occurred until now. There are processors with integrated video and processors without this feature, so the motherboard has only the interface and connectors necessary to route the video signal generated by the CPU. You can install CPUs with an integrated video processor or without, but with CPUs without a video processor you won’t have on-board video, needing an add-on video card. Of course with a processor with integrated video you still have the option to install an add-on card and disable its video engine. The Socket 1156 CPUs, like socket 1366 and AMD processors, have an embedded memory controller. Since the memory controller is inside the CPU, it is the processor -- and not the chipset -- that defines what memory technologies and the maximum amount of memory you can have. The integrated memory controller from socket 1156 processors supports only DDR3 memories up to 1,333 MHz under dual-channel architecture, but Biostar TH55XE Intel motherboard supports memories working up to 2,000 MHz, through overclocking. You can have up to 16 GB, if you install four 4 GB modules. Biostar TH55XE Intel mainboard comes with one x16 PCI Express 2.0 slot, one x4 PCI Express slot (you can install x1 expansion cards on it) and two standard PCI slots. Even though Intel H55 chipset does not provide a parallel ATA port, Biostar TH55XE Intel motherboard has one, controlled by a JMicron JMB368 chip. While two FireWire (IEEE1394) ports are available controlled by an LSI FW322 chip. As a Intel motherboard with onboard video solution, Biostar TH55XE mainboard comes with the three most common types of video connection: VGA, DVI-D and HDMI, but only two of them can be used at the same time. Biostar TH55XE motherboard has seven phases on its voltage regulator circuit, five for the CPU, two for the VTT (voltage bus that feeds the CPU L3 memory cache, integrated memory controller and CPU I/O pins) and one for the integrated graphics processor.
