Great overall board

Strengths: lots of accesories, supports up to 8GB of memory ram, excellent Audio; great setup instructions

Weakness: Only supports 2 parralel IDE devices.

With this board you get all the cables and connectors that you will need to build a system from scratch. The integrated audio is great, you don't really need to buy a separate audio card which can save some money. The only drawback is that you will need to make sure all of your hard drives support SATA otherwise you will only be able to install one DVD ROM since this drive only supports 2...

Intel's best motherboard for gamers.

Strengths: Genuine Intel motherboards have a long reputation of stability and exemplary driver support. Includes everything you need, especially where cables are concerned. Fan-less for a quieter computer.

Weakness: More expensive than non-Intel boards based on the same chipset. Requires expensive components.

This is Intel's flagship motherboard, based upon its latest 955x chipset. Although Intel says this board is only compatible with the incredibly expensive 3.8 GHz version of its 600 CPU line, that is only marketing fluff and you can rest assured that all of the 600 line CPUs will work perfectly - and quite a bit faster than using the older chipsets Intel recommends. Although I highly recommend...

Intel 955XBK up and running

Strengths: Great features, comes with a ton of accesories, Great install instructions.

Weakness: None that are the products fault.

This is my 4th consecutive Intel Motherboard. They come with great accessories and always have updated drivers and BIOS available at the Intel website. Although I have built many computers in the past, first timers will really enjoy the installation instructions. It comes with two 2 foot by 3 foot color posters with step by step instructions. My previous Motherboard (865PERLK) I had to RMA to...

D955XBK Motherboard (Pentium 4/Pentium D, Socket...

Strengths: Excelent documentation, easy install,a lot of cables,Excellent options, dual PCI-express x 16

Weakness: None so far

Excellent specifications for this motherboard, good for graphics with dual pci express x 16, good systems raid and silicon for storage, better upgrades for processors and memory ram, and good sound 7.1 channels. This motherboard is designed for high performance parts and when used in conjucntion with those parts, it families. The board comes in a very neat package and with plenty of accessories...

investigate before you buy...

Strengths: d955xbk comes with alots of cables, and a good basic quick start guide

Weakness: bios is not user friendly and can be hard to access, if you set something wrong in, you will have to recover, not so with other boards like , asus witch are alot simpler to use, also only one ide chan

over all this board runs great, you will probably see some codes as you first start up and load the OS, but the problem here is that these code are not in the intel forms included with this board, after an 45min search on itels site, i was unable to find a resolution, if you need tech support from intel be prepaired to fork over some cash.

solid motherboard

Strengths: All my hardware worked with it.

Weakness: Only one IDE channel.

With my old motherboard, out of the 4GB of memory I had it only saw/used 3.2GB, which sucked. This board sees/uses 3.8GB, which makes me happy. It came with a CD-R containing Windows drivers, but I use Linux. I downloaded all the docs and a BIOS update from Intel's website. All my previous hardware from my motherboard that died worked fine with this board.

Great Motherboard, but the seller suckes

Strengths: It works

Weakness: The product was not what was represented in the sellers description. It was advertised as the box version which comes with all the accessories required to install it but it arrived in a plain white box.

It is impossible to review the product without a review of the seller, since the product was misrepresented. I would use the word fraud but don't wish to generate any liability. I was able to use the product but only because I had the accessories required from motherboards previously purchased. If I did not have a cache of left over cables and other material the board would have been worthless....

solid motherboard

Strengths: All my hardware worked with it.

Weakness: Documentation, or lack thereof. Only one IDE channel.

I had 4GB of memory on my previous motherboard that died. That board could only see/use 3.2GB, which sucked. This board allows me to use 3.8GB and that makes me happy. It shipped with a CD-R that contained Windows drivers, but I run Linux so I didn't need it. I downloaded the motherboard manual, new BIOS, and whatever other docs I could get from Intel's site. Even though it is an older board, all...
