The
DFI LAN Party UT nF4 SLI-DR Expert is the current motherboard of choice for serious PC enthusiasts.
For the very basics, the motherboard features an AMD
Socket-939 to support an AMD
Athlon 64, Athlon 64 FX, or Athlon 64 X2 processor.
Data integrity is provided by an on-board
SATA RAID controller. The Silicon Image Sil3114 chip supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, and RAID 5.
System reliability is further enhanced by the magnetically levitated fan which is present on the chipset heatsink.
Also featured on the motherboard are dual gigabit
Ethernet ports.
For graphics, this motherboard sports a plethora of excellent features, including a 16x PCI Express bus and support for dual nVidia SLI-ready graphics cards.
In the audio department, the Karajan Audio audio system provides theater like 7.1/8ch sound.
