DFI LANPARTY UT
nF4 Ultra-D
Every once in a great while the internet rants and raves about an up and
coming component that will allow you to be an overclocking God. Even
though such occurrences are rare they are starting to become more common
every time DFI unleashes its ingenious BIOS engineers and layout
designers. The one problem is timing, since it never seems to happen in
OUR time. Meaning more specifically the slow release time of their
boards. I can't think of a single time DFI has ever released a board on
OUR time, but when they release it time stops, and people buy them. Ever
since the LANPARTY series originated a couple years ago, owning a DFI
motherboard really says something about you as a computer enthusiast.
The Ultra-D is such a board of this recognition despite being a somewhat
lesser vessel than its bigger SLI brother. SLI still begs the question
as to why, since the obvious single card configuration gives you more
than enough gaming power, but that's another story. For now we'll stick
to pointing out the features of what we have here right now, the
LANPARTY Ultra-D...
