The P55 Deluxe includes a host of performance-enhancing features like two PCI-E x16 slots and eight SATA 3GB/s ports with RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 support courtesy of Intel’s Matrix Storage technology. ASRock also extended the board’s memory support by allowing users to install up to 16GBs of DDR3-2600+ unbuffered memory. They also included two firewire ports and even dropped the cash to add Japanese-made Conductive Polymer Capacitors to help stabilize the board’s 16+2 power phase design.
