Pros

P55 chipset supports mainstream Intel processors, Loaded to the gills with extras and accessories, Enough ports to be an enthusiast’s dream, Support for crossvendor graphics

Cons

Crossvendor graphics is a gimmick as of now, No native SLI support despite having 3 PCIE slots, Nextgen ports (USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gbps) are absent
