While the board did not sit on top of every benchmark, it has the potential to be one of the fastest gaming platforms for Intel. Benchmarks don’t tell the whole story though, as the P4N Diamond proved to be a reliable board throughout testing and is stacked with enough features that it should be able to survive in most people’s PC for a long while.
If you are a diehard gamer, but refuse AMD, then this board may be for you. It actually has quite a bit of funcionality, and is SLi-ready if you feel that you need it. Head on over to Viper Lair.
