DFI Press Release, 3.6 GHz Prescott, DFI NF2 Ultra B and More
Good day brothers and sisters, how are you doing? Yesterday I broke down and bought a new mountain bike, the Giant XTC2. It was a little more money then I was thinking of spending, but 6'5" just doesn't feel safe on a cheap bike ;)
News? Of course I have some...
DFI Unveils New Flagship LANParty™ 925X-T2 Motherboard

Socket T and 3.6 GHz Prescott Reviewed @ Ace's Hardware
"PCI Express, PCI Express x16, and DDR-II. Our review pays particular attention not only to the new 3.6 GHz Prescott CPU, but also the DDR-II memory. What are its advantages in terms of speed and capacity and what role does latency play in the performance of this new memory standard?"
HTPCnews.com Mobo Review: DFI NF2 Ultra B
"The feature rich DFI Lan Party NFORCE II Ultra B is on the test bench at HTPCnews.com today with a little twist. We aren't looking at how well it can be used as a Lan party box, but instead as a full featured Media Center motherboard. Items like real time encoding of Dolby Digital 5.1, excellent playback of 1080i video clips, passive cooling, and a great deal of HDD connectors make this motherboard one that we just had to take a look at. For more information on this latest motherboard from DFI, check out the review."
Explaining DDR Memory Bandwidth @ CoolTechZone
"With all things equal, a stick of DDR memory capable of running 2-2-2-5 memory timings will make the computer operating experience seem faster than a DIMM which can only run at 3-4-4-8. This is because of the fact that when the memory receives an instruction, retrieves the data, and sends it back out in less time."
Legion Hardware - Maxtor MaXLine III SATA 250GB
"Another hyped about feature of these MaXLine III series hard drives is their native command queuing (NCQ) support. Unfortunately, I was unable to exploit the potential performance of this new technology. Nevertheless, I do not doubt for a moment how significant the impact of this technology could be. Obviously at this point in time NCQ is a technology that will benefit few, though it does exist in this new hard drive series from Maxtor."
That's all I have for now friends. I will catch you back here later today :) - Cheers
