Hi all,

We have just published a review of *DFI's LANParty LT X48 T2R
motherboard* - if you could post a link on your site that would be very
much appreciated.

*/"For a DDR2 board the gaming performance is very good, outperforming
even the Nvidia nForce 780i SLI board in all of our gaming tests. It
can't keep up with the DDR3 boards, but buying 4GB of DDR2 is still a
fraction of the cost of even 2GB of DDR3 -- that alone will offer
significant headroom for games as well.

It is more expensive than its X38 brethren and you'd be hard pressed to
tell the two apart if they were standing side by side. However, if you
were concerned about price you'll probably want to wait for the P45
launch anyway. It's not power friendly either, but DFI has never claimed
to even care -- it's not about the latest bandwagon, it's about being
true to its core, of which it does in spades. The incredible north
bridge heatsink and its simple interchangeability is no greater example
of this -- you're free to replace it with anything you like because they
are no heatpipes.

If you love your DFI boards then you'll be onto a winner with the
LANParty LT X48 T2R -- everything you need out of Intel's X48 chipset is
provided and there's a lot of fun and time investment to be had with it.
After talking to BIOS engineers and others in DFI's QA team, the
limitations we've been finding are essentially chipset level and there's
plenty of beta BIOS out there to try on DFI communities that only add to
its true, core-enthusiast appeal. However finding these places and
knowing who to ask isn't the most obvious thing on earth -- DFI should
fill its manual with more BIOS details, overclocking tips and support
forum links for new DFI owners can dive into. This "left to get on with
it" is //harsh to say the least.

All in all, it's well priced, well featured, great looking and it can be
very stable. While our concern this that if you lack patience or don't
have much time to learn then look elsewhere -- the LANParty LT X48 T2R
is certainly not for everyone, and while we think DFI //can do better in
the experience as a whole, it'll still be perfect for some of you."
