bigblue63's Full Review: Intel D865PERL Motherboard
I bought this board because I was more interested in "using" my computer rather than working on it to keep it running. I like the features of the board such as SATA support (Serial ATA), 8 USB 2.0, PATA capable, 800mhz FSB capable, 2 IDE channels, Dual-Channel memory support, on-board sound, 8x AGP slot, just to name a few. The 865PE chipset is very similiar in performance and features to that of the more expensive 875 chipset. I use the computer for video editing, databases, internet and, of course, gaming. Overclocking is limited to a "burn-in" function in the BIOS that will allow about a 4% increase. The BIOS can be updated (flashed). Overall this is a very stable and comfortable board with plenty of room for expansion and future upgrades.
