After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.

Linksys and Ty4n paired up to give this motherboard a Gigiabit speed rating. We actually expected to see some sort of onboard 802.11 device on this motherboard as wireless networking has become more prevalent across the industry.
When asked why the Trinity didn't come with wireless capabilities they responded "As the Trinity is designed for gaming we didn't see the need in include wireless networking given that most gamers tend to stay put while gaming".

These days anything less than 8 channel sound is unheard of despite the fact when it comes to desktop speakers you only have room for 2 and a subwoofer. Ty4n understood this dilemma and opted for the cheaper 7.1 channel sound based on the Cmedia chipset.
Promise has been known to supply RAID controllers to many motherboard mfgs as a way to provide something that is normally not supported by the chipset Southbridge. For the Trinity, Promise has supplied a monster controller supporting SATA 3.0 and levels 0, 1, 5, and 10.
For our review we spared no expense and are using 4x 36gig WD Raptor drives in a RAID 0 for the best possible performance.

Time for the benchmarks!
