Perhaps not surprisingly, no motherboard vendor understands the performance capability and engineering specifications of Intel® silicon components better than Intel® desktop boards. Intel desktop boards are engineered to provide optimum headroom for stable performance.

By the time you see an Intel desktop board it is already a second or third generation design. This is because Intel desktop boards are used exclusively as early validation vehicles for all of Intel Corporation's new desktop processors and chipsets. When you add to this our stringent adherence to only using quality components and the fact that Intel desktop boards undergo thousands of hours of design optimization, functional testing, and validation, it is not surprising that we have earned industry-wide recognition for our rock solid stability and world-class quality. High-quality systems require stable platform foundation and a stable system means less time spent with your suppliers and more time spent with your customers!

Superior product quality including internally developed advanced BIOS, exceptional system manageability, best of breed integration tools, and world class service all have a huge impact on our customers' business profitability. Lowering total cost of ownership is a goal that can be met using a stable platform built on a superior board.

Building systems with Intel desktop boards means building systems that are easy to integrate, easy to customize, easy to sell, easy to support, easy to use, and most of all for you, easy to manage.

Each desktop board features:

	Express BIOS update: Automated BIOS and driver upgrades
	Intel® Advanced BIOS: configure BIOS to you needs
	Intel® Rapid BIOS Boot: optimization feature that dramatically reduces system boot time
	Intel® Integrator Toolkit: Automated BIOS configuration and system verification

Intel desktop boards are designed for enhancing and simplifying user experience, whether the systems will be primarily used for networked gaming, business productivity, or for the digital home.

Along with superb technology, stability, and support, Intel also provides a 1-3 year limited warranty of our desktop board products as well as RMA support and advanced warranty replacement. Also included are web support, phone service support, and Integrator News emails. For more information on our support services, please visit http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/

All this wouldn't be enough if you didn't know where to find the right information. To keep its integrators current, Intel delivers training and certification throughout the year to keep you up-to-date with the latest products, technology, and programs.

Intel also provides all the information you need via our homepage at Intel® Desktop Boards and the Intel® Reseller Center.
