Let's start off by taking a quick look around the Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD4P
motherboard.
|
Expansion includes three PCI Express x1 slots, two PCI Express 2.0
x16 slots (x16 mode and x8 mode for the second), and a pair PCI slots. Along the bottom
edge of the motherboard are COM,
floppy, printer, USB, Firewire and IDE headers.

In SLI/Crossfire the
videocards operate in x8/x8 mode. There is plenty of space for dual-slot wide videocards to be
installed on the GA-P55A-UD4P motherboard. |

In this corner of
the Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD4P we find the Intel P55 Express chipset under a
small passive heatsink, the IDE and front panel connectors,
two USB headers and tucked in between the PCI slots
the Firewire header. The six blue SATA II ports are flanked
by two 6Gb/s SATAIII jacks.
