The first results of our roundup of motherboards (sometimes even engineering samples) on the new series of Intel 945/955 chipsets turned out to be ambiguous. Of course, new models with beta BIOS versions have a right to be slow. If a chipset is much faster than its competitors, it will have almost no effect on the results. But according to our tests, in case of Intel 915(with DDR2)/945 and Intel 925/955 pairs, this condition is not met, so the new motherboards were just slower than the old ones. Now, over six months afterwards, all manufacturers have released BIOS updates for their products on i945/955. So I think we may speak of the final performance results. Thus, here is a roundup of four motherboards on i945P and one model on i945G with the latest BIOS versions.
