DFI LANPARTY LGA775 Showcase: The 925X-T2 & 875P-T

The DFI LANPARTY 875P-T is targeted at enthusiasts looking to upgrade to an LGA775 Pentium 4 processor, without having to purchase a new video card or new RAM.  Due to the fact that the LANPARTY 875P-T is powered by Intel's i875P chipset, it's meant to be used in conjunction with DDR1 memory and AGP video cards.  The 925X chipset, however, requires newer, more expensive, DDR2 memory and a PCI Express video card. But just because the LANPARTY 875P-T is equipped with Intel's older "Canterwood" chipset, doesn't mean users will have to sacrifice much in terms of features and performance.  The LANPARTY 875P-T is every bit as feature-rich as the 925X-T2, for the most part.

The DFI LANPARTY 875P-T ships with essentially the same bundle as the 925X-T2's, minus the SATA-to-IDE adapter, but with an additional rounded IDE cable.  Included with the LANPARTY 875P-T, we found 2 rounded 80-Wire IDE cables, a single rounded floppy cable and two red SATA cables. We also found a single Dual-SATA-to-Molex power adapter, a case bracket outfitted with a single serial port, and an IDE-to-SATA interface adapter. There is also a detailed Quick Reference poster and three user's manuals included with the 875P-T in addition to a DFI case badge, a large "LANPARTY" decal, and a custom I/O shield. Driver floppies and a driver CD-ROM are also bundled with the board as well, along with a UV reactive cable sleaving kit. Lastly, DFI included a set of FrontX Multimedia ports, that bring audio, SATA, and USB connectors, and four diagnostic LEDs to the front of a system, and a "PC Transpo" that makes carrying a system and its accessories much easier.

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
