IO parts: 6 x USB 2.0 1 x 1394 2 x Gigabit LAN (supports Teaming function) X38 Chipset has a different way to cover the chipset itself Installed Northbridge Start-up screen The ratio and voltage settings DRAM multiplier settings CPU Feature DRAM‘s settings This setting might be push the DRAM’s performance a bit higher |

The performance of the CPU, The Quad core FSB at 462MHz, stable at 4X Super PI 32M The performance of DDRII 1200 CL5 5-5-15 1.85V A single Super PI 32M stable 1.9V Dual SP2004, 2GB full loaded and stable 1200 CL4 4-4-9 2.35V Single Super PI 32M stable 2.41V Dual SP2004, 2GB also full-loaded stable The test of memory’s bandwidth The DRAM part, this board is “inherent” the good traditional from DFI, it still keeps the high record. It even can use a lower voltage setting than P35. 3D parts 8800GT OC 3DMARK2003 3DMARK2005 3DMARK2006 The basic performance of X38 is a little bit higher than P35, besides, the VGA supports x16 + x16 bandwidth. It just like a “value-add” for X38. DFI LANParty LT X38-T2R The merits: 1)a special style design for both package and relative covers 2)All solid-state capacitors 3)rich and variety BIOS setting and wide range of voltage options 4)8-phase digital PWM and the isolated Bernstein audio module 5)The board utilizes DDR2 for a cheaper cost to users. The performance is excellent The drawbacks: 1)The launch day of DFI X38 was two months later than the others 2)If the price of the LANParty X38 can be down a little, more users will love it, I think. 3)The OC of Quad core CPU doesn’t better than P35 X38/ P35, Intel made them as a main product in 2007. X38 is almost like P35, but the Dual x16 VGA and PCIe 2.0. The Quad cores CPU seems hard to reach the record of P35. but it still can reach 550 to 600MHz. If you want a upgrade VGA platform, X38 is almost a best choice for you, particularly it has dual x16 VGA and PCIe2.0 supports. But if budget is your first consideration. P35 is still the best choice for you!! |
