Introduction

You may remember our review of the DFI Lan Party KT400a with it's unique looks and numerous accessories. If you frequent LAN parties or like to show off your rig, you might have considered this great board. Sadly, there was one disadvantage, the board overclocks a bit better than a poundcake with a processor jammed in it..

Thankfully, DFI produces a NForce II Ultra based motherboard in the Lan Party series, and if the board makes good use of the NForce II chipset, your overclocking worries may be over. So follow along my friends, as we venture into the mysterious world of... well... umm... motherboards. Yeah.

Minor mistake in the review, otherwise good work : this board actually DOES feature Nvidia SoundStorm! Written on the back of the box in fairly big letters (doh) plus deatiled on the DFI spec page.

If you want 5.1 audio out then you must scarifice the mic-in and line-in ports since the IO plate only has 3 audio jacks. However, a rear backplate bracket is available direct from DFI to add extra audio jacks which will prevent the loss of those ports (but it's NOT included by default in the box, which would have been better to see).
