If you?re on the market for a mobo which offers plenty of features and performance, Gigabyte?s 955X Royal might be it. It is no secret that the Pentium Extreme Edition CPU is Intel?s push on the enthusiast market. The Pentium-XE as we call it supports two cores with Hyper-Threading on each allowing a maximum of four recognisable CPU?s. Now for current games, we don?t see any advantage, as most games can?t even take advantage of two CPU?s but for the multimedia masses and multitask who want to run not only a game, but a video as well as a MP3 ripping at the same time, this CPU is definitely going to be the goods for you.
