Introduction

Intel's i925XE chipset is the first Intel chipset to support 1066 MHz FSB.
While those new CPUs are still expensive, prices are going to drop considerably in the future.



Calvin Lim, Sales Director of Albatron Taiwan: "After the success of our i865PE based workstation level boards, we wanted to build a fully-featured, next generation, DDR2-based workstation board with focus on stability of operation in mind, while still staying competitive in price. The PX925XE Pro-R is not really geared towards overclocking - but for 24 hour round-the-clock-operation, like a server board."
