Asus launched its latest P7P55D Series motherboards in the Philippines at a press conference last week in Makati City.

Top officials of Asus took pride in explaining the main features of their new motherboards — Intel P55 Express chipset and support for the latest LGA 1156 socket for Intel Core i7/Core i5 processors — as well as its Hybrid Technology composed of Hybrid Processor, Hybrid Phase, and Hybrid OS. The end goal is “to give users intelligent performance enhancement, active cooling, and rapid online access”.

This motherboard is an overclocker’s wet dream. Overclocking can be done quickly and easily, without the need for rebooting or tinkering with the BIOS.

For the non-techies, this motherboard promises to give you speed and almost instant booting: just five seconds! Its own OS provides users with a quick way to download photos, check emails and other basic functions.

Suggested price for the “lowest end model” of the new motherboard is around P9,000, according to Asus officials.

(By the way, I won an Asus U1  Xonar USB audio station during the quiz-cum-raffle. I barely answered the question.)
