DirectX 8 & OpenGL Gaming Performance
The DFI nForce4 boards continue their outstanding performance in gaming benchmarks. In almost every benchmark, we find the DFI at the top or near the top in performance. Those who will never overclock will be very happy with the performance of the DFI. Enthusiasts will be pleased to see outstanding performance both at stock speeds and in record-breaking overclocking.

Eh..whats the molex connector for? (4 picture, page 3, next to the fan connector) Just more power to the mobo? Havent put a new system together for awhile..TheInvincibleMustard - Wednesday, February 2, 2005 - link
Also, does anyone know if the SI3114 chip does on-chip parity calculation for its RAID-5 or is that shoved off to the CPU? It's sad to see that the SI3114 doesn't support SATA-II, either.ChineseDemocracyGNR - Wednesday, February 2, 2005 - link
#6,the first pics had the connector, but they have updated them since.
#8,
when nVidia says "top board maker" they don't care about quality, they care about how many chips the company buys from them. As an example I can mention Gigabyte and their nF3-Ultra boards.
#9,
I'm afraid that won't be possible until a new revision of the A64 is out.
#10,
24-pin.

i count 24 pins..johnson - Wednesday, February 2, 2005 - link
Is it an atx 24 pin + 4 pin or the stated 20 pin + 4 pin?TheInvincibleMustard - Wednesday, February 2, 2005 - link
Looks like a fantastic board, but just sad that it can't handle 4 DS DIMMs at 1T. I was really looking forward to having 2GB memory and still great response times. Oh well.DFI's on my shortlist for my next purchase! (that is, if I can find them in stock ... they were at ZZF but sold out in about an hour (SLI) to two hours (Ultra) :`(

I've already placed my order for one. I did see the SLI PCB connector in the box in all the pictures I saw, so I am disappointed to read that I won't actually be receiving one. I hope it isn't too difficult to get my hands on one.Avalon - Wednesday, February 2, 2005 - link
This board is perfect for PCI-e users. Hot damn.
