Thread: Biostar I945P-A7 Motherboards

Currently on the market there are more and more fees on i945P chipset. And above all manufacturers have already reached the second-tier - a typical example fee Biostar I945P-A7, which will be the subject of today's test.

The main feature of this board - there are two PCI Express slots, which theoretically allows for the creation of a system with two graphics cards working in the mode of nVidia SLI or ATI Crossfire. However, such systems for high-end class, in my view, it makes sense to pick a well-known manufacturer fee. For each new generation of Intel chipsets deliver to the increasingly stringent requirements to comply with the specifications, as well as to the thoroughness of the design fee. And often at the second-tier producers, lack the resources to develop powerful, high-quality and low-cost fees at the same time.

That's fee I945P-A7 was a few unpleasant surprises: the complete failure to disperse opportunities, and a partial incompatibility with Intel processors xx 6. In particular fee with Pentium 4660 worked at the "accidental" mode, that is, multiplier was equal to 14, and did not change by any means.




On the other hand, fees for i945P chipset manufacturers are a good second-tier fee alternative to the previous generation of Intel chipsets. And it is from this point of view, we will consider a fee Biostar I945P-A7.
