This motherboard is so exceptional that the i855 Hybrid's performance when running a 1.7Ghz Pentium-M processor is actually higher than that of a 3.0 GHz Pentium 4 processor running on a conventional desktop motherboard. "The new i855 Hybrid microATX board from AOpen is a powerful addition to our motherboard product line that recently was received in Japan with an extraordinarily enthusiastic response, and has been anxiously anticipated here in North America," said Charlie Shiang, Vice-President, Sales and Product Management, AOpen America Inc.
