Intel P55 and Intel Core i5 650

[indusgeek]

Hi,

Though Intel P 55 is a recomended match for the Core i5 650 in ark.intel.com. But with this combination you render Intergrated graphics useless. Is there a workaround where you can still test Intergrated graphics on machine with Intel P55 and Core i 650.

If not If i were to go with Intel core i650 with H55 or H57, will these chipsets work, will both bork or which one should i go with.

Cheers!

describes a config that works with Core i series and has the IGP working, both Intel and non-Intel mobos.

does that help?

Thank you, from the above information it looks like Core i5 650 with Intel H55 shouls support IGP. The second part to the question is that has anyone checked Graphics Checker on this config?
