Abstract: Traditionally, motherboards with integrated video are bottom of the heap, middling at best. That's why the majority of micro-ATX boards are typically viewed as lower end platforms that lacking performance features. While often true, we have seen some perf...
As we've seen, the Z68 chipset has many similar characteristics and features to P67 and H67, in what appears to be a successful marriage of the two. Intel normally doesn't bring successive chipsets without retiring the current crop, but P67 may survive...
Finals Words and conclusionOkay so we need to breakup this conclusion into two segments, the chipset and the actual ASUS mother board review. Let's start off with the chipset. The Intel Z68 chipset takes the best of both worlds in the series 6 chipset, mo...
Dan's Thoughts:My experiences with the P8Z68-V Pro were long, arduous, and downright stressful at times. To be fair that wasn’t really the P8Z68-V’s fault. The board has two new features. Features that are worthy of a lot of discussion on their own. Th...

The ASUS P8Z68-V Pro Motherboard is exactly what the doctor ordered in terms of a good blend of multimedia and performance. I have reviewed both P67 and H67 motherboards and always wished that there would be some middle ground between the two. That is ...
Looking back on the ASUS P8Z68-V PRO, I can come up with a variety of conclusions. It's a great little board in terms of performance, features and add-ons, even for the $210 asking price. Though at this price, we'd perhaps ask for a little more to be in t...
There are two aspects to the Z68 Express chipset’s performance to consider; its performance versus the P67 Express using similar configurations and the effect Intel Smart Response SSD caching technology has on performance. With regard to the former, t...
Abstract: As somewhat of a fast-food connoisseur, I can't help but find McDonald's Third-Pounder Angus lineup a little bit maddening. There are three options: a Mushroom Swiss with sautéed fungus; a Bacon and Cheese with onion, pickle, and what passes for cured por...

It is hard not to look at the Intel Z68 chipset as anything but a complete success. You already have a class-leading processor in terms of performance and features and now you are finally enabling all of the features of it be accessed for your entire mark...
