"Biostar's TP35D2-A7 motherboard is built with Intel's P35 Express and ICH9 chipsets, so with a Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad processor it becomes the backbone for a good WindowsXP or Vista PC. If you're not interested in frills you can get the performance of the P35 Express without blowing a lot of money. Yup, performance without spending a fortune."
