Right at the very top-end of the performance ladder, we know DFI are working hard to pry everything they can from the X48 chipset, and in order to succeed they need to be able to provide that last few percent of headroom that people have come to expect from DFI products. Right now, for outright brute force overclocking, realizing that additional 1%-2% headroom is not possible. The board's current strengths may not be enough to win over the type of user that will generally choose this type of product to "race".

What we have here is not quite enough to dominate the DDR2 sector outright, but certainly sets new standards in other regards. If tweaking is your thing and you have the patience to work with the extensive BIOS options, there is no doubt that the X48 T2R will keep you occupied for a long time. However, DFI's own P35 offers everything a user could need and can be teamed with a dual-GPU card to get around the P35 chipset limit of having a single x16 bandwidth PCIE slot.
