System Benchmarks
WinRAR 3.9 x64
This benchmark compresses our AT workload consisting of a main folder that contains 954MB of files in 15 subfolders. The result is a file approximately 829MB in size.
Sorenson Squeeze 6
We are using Sorenson Squeeze to convert eight AVCHD videos into HD Flash videos for use on websites. This application heavily favors physical core count and processor clock speed.
Bibble 5.0
We utilize Bibble Labs' Bibble 5 v2 to convert 50 RAW image files into full size JPEG images with the program's default settings. This program is fully multithreaded and multi-core aware.

Look Here for a report on the biggest DPC Issue of our time,one that is silenced by the manufacturer, & probably an excellent article subject for Anandtech.

With out PS2 die hard Clicky Keyboard Lovers like myself will be forced to boycott intel motherboards and support manufacturers like Gigabyte and ASUS. Intel, do all of us a favor and preserve the PS2 port, USB converter solutions just don't work very well.ClagMaster - Saturday, April 10, 2010 - link
I too have issues with this latest generation of Intel Motherboards of not providing support for legacy devices.Lack of floopy and PS/2 support is not an issue because these devices are truly obsolete. Most new mice and keyboards available for the last six years with USB.
Lack of IDE support for Optical Drives is a significant issue for many users because they have high performance IDE Optical Drives they paid over $100 that they still want to use. And they are very much aware there is no significant benefit buying a SATA drive for much less.
The DP55KG is too much money for the features and performance at ($210). I would have bought the lower cost DP55WG ($140) except that it does not have IDE support for my optical drives. So the candidate worth buying for the money is the GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD3P ($140)

...at least Intel programs its own BIOS program, unlike every other mobo manufacturer that has it programmed in Taiwan, then poorly translates it.Nowhere in an Intel BIOS will you find things like "It the system power is be reset it will cause the malfunction!!!"

I am using the DP55KG for a while in combination with a Pentium G6950 (Clarkdale).I changed my Graphic Card and discovered that I have the PCIe x1-Bug that was described in the review. I have the newest BIOS and tried a bunch of things, but wasn't able to solve the problem. Even contacted Intel via Support-Chat, but they were no help.
Have anyone here a solution for this annoying bug (besides changing Mainboard/CPU, of course)?
