Conclusion
Equally competing against ASUS' $219 USD P7P55D Deluxe, Gigabyte's GA-P55-UD4P motherboard shows its value with an asking price of $169 USD. With both boards achieving a max stable overclock of 4.06GHz, you would be a fool not to consider the UD4P if you happen to be a budget overclocker.
The biggest thing that will separate motherboards nowadays are features. In the past, quality was the biggest factor, but things have changed. Motherboard manufactures have really stepped up R&D and quality testing which is why a mid-ranged motherboard can keep up with a premium motherboard. Features like the Smart6 suite (Smart Time Lock, Smart Quick Boot, Smart Quick Boost, etc.), Ultra Durable 3, Dynamic Energy Saver 2, and Auto Green combined with the overclocking features, make Gigabyte's GA-P55-UD4P one hell of a bargain.
