“In conjunction with the launch of the Core i3/i5
Clarkdale processors last month, Intel introduced the H55 and H57
Chipsets. The Intel H55 Express Chipset is designed for use with
these new processors and Core i7 800 series CPUs. The H55 is
compatible with the HD graphics found embedded onto the new
Clarkdale CPUs as well as the PCI Express 2.0 slots and dual
channel DDR3 memory controller provided by the CPU itself, while
the chipset itself provides support for the digital displays, HD
audio, six PCI Express x1 slots, Serial ATA, Gigabit LAN, and Intel
ME Firmware / BIOS support. As our first Linux review of an Intel
H55 motherboard we are checking out the ECS Elitegroup
H55H-M.”
