    ..:: Introduction ::..

         These last few months have been fairly slow on the review front due to that thing we all know and love, life. Now that things have finally calmed back down a little we have our review of Foxconn’s top i955X product, the 955X7AA-8EKRS2. This product follows right in line with the 925XE7AA-8EKRS2 we took a look at a few months back. Foxconn has made a broad push on the Intel chipset front to push out some high-end products packed full of features, extras, and performance. They’ve come a long way since we first looked at one of their products, so let’s see what they have for us in the 955X7AA-8EKRS2. Does this board truly follow in the footsteps of the 925XE7AA-8EKRS2, or has Foxconn added in additional improvements? Let’s find out.
