Abit IP35 Pro Motherboard Review
We have just published our first motherboard review in a while, and it’s a doozy. The IP35 Pro from Universal Abit is based on the Intel P35 Express chipset. This chipset supports FSB rates up to 1333 MHz, and the IP35 Pro supports pretty much every Intel CPU out there.

Retro Gamer: A look back at Street Fighter character designs
