At DAT Computers, we spotted 2 new DFI AMD 64 based motherboards. Being a cheaper alternative to the award winning Lanparty series, the new DFI Infinity nF4 Ultra and the DFI Infinity nF4 SLi comes with less fanciful options. Straight from the box, the packaging is less extravagant. The board itself does not come with UV reactive slots and connectors. But instead, it comes with a very simple design, in both the board color, and the feature set. It will be interesting to see how these 2 boards fare against their better looking (and more expensive) Lanparty brothers. Priced at $ 185 for the Ultra version, and $ 245 for the SLi version, it's one of the cheaper boards available in Sim Lim Square.

This is the packaging of the NF4 Ultra Infinity. Simplicity is the keyword here.

This is how the nF4 Ultra board looks like from top down.

The I/O connectors available on this board. Both the SLi and the Ultra shares similar I/O ports. With just standard 5.1 sound for these boards, as compared to the 7.1 found on the Lanparty series.

Unlike the brown SLi bridge with the Lanparty emblem found on the Lanparty SLi-D or the SLi-DR, these boards comes with such generic green bridges.

This Vitesse VSC8201RX provides the Physical Hardware Layer to the onboard Gigabit LAN found on the Nforce 4 chipsets on both boards.

The Firewire capabilities on both boards, are powered by this VIA VT6307 Firewire "A" controller.

That's all for this week folks, catch us next week :)
