Introduction
DFI LANPARTY PRO875B Canterwood motherboard
Socket 478 is looking kind of appealing right now. Given enough resources, a Pentium 4 3.4GHz Extreme Edition and well-tuned Canterwood board makes for a fearsome performance base. To add to the present socket formation's attractiveness, Intel's Prescott is looking none too clever and LGA775 still has to debut. Most users, if given a choice, often choose to skip the very first iteration of boards based on a brand-new chipset, too.
S478, on the other hand, is a proven, stable, and mature platform that countless chipsets are currently based upon. It is, we feel, the only choice for the consumer who wishes to build an Intel performance rig in the very near future. That said, there's a whole spectrum of performance boards vying for your attention. i865xx and i875P from Intel, 655FX from SiS, and PT880 from VIA. Most industry heavyweights, naturally, have put massive support behind Intel's logics. DFI, in particular, has made a concerted effort to release the must-have Intel dual-channel boards. Who can forget the 'everything including the kitchen sink' feel that pervades its LANPARTY line.
The computing industry is generally about evolution more than revolution. DFI's released a newer Canterwood board will all the trimmings. The LANPARTY PRO875B seeks to refine the promise shown in the initial Canterwood by being the best performance S478 motherboard money can buy. Let's see how close DFI gets to this laudable aim.
