Intel D875PBZ Motherboard Review

"Intel's motherboards have hardly been considered the "enthusiast choice" by the more tweaking-oriented of computer users, and for good reason: no voltage adjustments, no overclocking... not even RAM timing tweaks. What Intel DID bring to the table were good, solid, stable motherboards that fit their latest processors like a glove.

Shortly after Intel announced their flagship Canterwood board, the D875PBZ, they mentioned a software suite in the works that would allow *gasp* TWEAKING! Intel's "Desktop Control Centre" has now been out since late 2003, and I wanted to see how well this software panned out after all the hype.

I also wanted to see if Intel can still make a solid board, so I have a D875PBZ on the grill today to see if it's a worthy backbone to a new P4 system. Let's rock."
