The problem with Sandy Bridge was simple: if you wanted to use Intel's integrated graphics, you had to buy a motherboard based on an H-series chipset. Unfortunately, Intel's H-series chipsets don't let you overclock the CPU or memory—only the integrated GPU. If you want to overclock the CPU and/or memory, you need a P-series chipset—which doesn't support Sandy Bridge's on-die GPU. Intel effectively forced overclockers to buy discrete GPUs from AMD or NVIDIA, even if they didn't need the added GPU power.
Intel's Z68 chipset is designed to address this shortcoming, as well as be the introductory vehicle for Intel's brand new SSD caching feature called Smart Response Technology. Read on as we look at Z68 and try to figure out if SRT is the holy grail of delivering SSD performance without sacrificing HDD capacity.
