Far Cry 2
Featuring fantastic visuals courtesy of the Dunia Engine, this game also features one of the most impressive benchmark tools we have seen in a PC game. For single GPU results we set the performance feature set to Very High, graphics to High, and enable DX10 with 2xAA.
Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War II
We are big fans of the Warhammer franchise, especially Dawn of War II. One of the latest RTS games in our library is also one of the more demanding titles on both the CPU and GPU. We crank all options to Ultra, enable AA, and then run the built-in performance benchmark for our result.
AutoCAD 2010 x64—Cadalyst 2008
We utilize AutoCAD 2010 x64 and the Cadalyst Labs 5 benchmark.
For some reason the H55H-I holds a clear advantage in this benchmark.We've tried everything we can to reproduce these kind of scores on other boards and can't get close.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Kill all the legacy ports already!The only reasonable reason anyone seems to come up with for needing PS/2 is old KVMs. We've been using PS/2 to USB converters for those at work, so even that's not a big problem.

How did an i5-661 beat an i5-750 in the AutoCAD benchmark...Rajinder Gill - Thursday, May 6, 2010 - link
Higher Turbo frequency I think.danger22 - Thursday, May 6, 2010 - link
so there is no raid whatsoever on H55? what mini-itx boards have decent raid support? anything on par with ICH10 that comes on full sized boards?MadMan007 - Thursday, May 6, 2010 - link
H57 has RAID, H55 doesn't.Rajinder Gill - Thursday, May 6, 2010 - link
Anand compared SATA performance of a few chipsets here:http://www.anandtech.com/show/2973/6gbps-sata-perf...
