CPU/Mobo Biostar's cheap €85 H55 mobo

[Anubis]

Biostar's first H55 board has popped up in our price search engine and at just €85 it sounds like quite a bargain.

Of course, that sort of money won't buy much in terms of features, but all things considered Biostar's TH55 XE still offers quite a lot for a cheap mATX board. With 4 DDR3 slots, 1 PCIe 2.0 x16, 1 PCIe x4 and two plain PCI slots, there's enough room for upgrades.

Coupled with upcoming Intel CPUs with integrated graphics the TH55 XE offers 1 VGA, 1 DVI and 1 HDMI port, as well as 4 + 6 USB 2.0 ports, FireWire and eSATA. It features all solid capacitors and offers 5 SATA II connectors and 1 PATA connector, as well as legacy PS/2, parallel and serial ports.

You can find it listed here and you check out Biostar's announcement here.

i think intel would certainly come out with good integrated graphics than amd:S

 

[Anubis]

In INR its turns out to be Rs 5970

Obviously this'll be priced at 6.3k here

Intel will come out with DH55TC - 5.3k ( cheapest H55 board ) maybe

Like the cheapest P55 is DP55WB @ 5.7k while all others are 6.8k-7.6k minimum

They call Rs 5970 cheap. Sheesh !!

The similarly priced Asus 785 EVO has far better layout than this cramped H55

Nonetheless the 32nm i5 would be better than PII

 

[vercetti4x6]

Does this support i5 750?

 

[Anubis]

Yes it does

 

[asingh]

These things run dual channel or tri..?

 

[Anubis]

Dual channel bro

But H55 mobos won't be that cheap. They will retail @ 6k in India without 4% VAT

sry for daquestion but i'm kind of a noob at chipsets

Wats the difference between p55 and h55??

 

[pretttt]

Wats the difference between p55 and h55??

H55 will be capable of using the integrated graphics in the new 32nm i5 chips.

P55 cannot do that.

right guys?

 

[asingh]

^^ Yes..correct. Also the H55 will not support dual GPU.
