DFI, one of the world’s largest motherboard manufacturers, has become quite popular in the past few years partially due to the success of their LANPARTY line of motherboards. More recently, DFI has released their LANPARTY UT series that consists of motherboards sporting the new Intel Socket-T, along with more UV sensitive items. The motherboard we will be experimenting with in this article is the DFI LANPARTY UT 915P-T12, which implements the i915P chipset.
Over the last few months, we have seen incredible innovations with PCI Express and DDR2, but in order to benefit from these technologies, a new motherboard and processor are required. While all new technology remains expensive, DFI has engineered a cost effective motherboard that allows for PCI Express, Intel LGA 775, and DDR2 yet is capable of utilizing standard DDR memory. Through the vast memory capabilities offered, it appears as if DFI has created this motherboard with those of us in mind who wish to upgrade their current computer to one that supports all of the latest technologies, but are not currently interested in running DDR2, due either to a lack of selection or to the price of current DDR2 modules. This actually works quite well for those of us interested in running the new memory at a later time since we have the option of upgrading. We hereby present to you, the DFI LANPARTY UT 915P-T12.
