ASUS P6T

INTRODUCTION

Over the years Asus has been one of the top innovators in the PC market, regardless if it has to do with their mother boards or any of their many other product divisions. And with the release of the new Intel Core i7 Asus hasn't stood still either by bringing out several mother boards before the CPU was even officially released. Since the CPU's release Asus has upped their offerings in the i7 field by offering no less than seven different models to fully cover the entire market price points.
We here at B3d have already looked at the P6T Deluxe a while back and its performance was nothing sort of outstanding. While the P6T Deluxe is Asus's mid priced offering, today we are going to be looking at their basic and budget offering, the P6T, that should let those of you wanting to jump on the i7 bandwagon get their foot in the door for a little less of a cash out lay without sacrificing performance.
