DFI LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR

 

can any of you give me the quick and easy on witch one is better or rigt for me?

 

does the expert take a differet power supply?

 

last thing i wanted to ask was witch CPU is going to feel faster the 165 or 148 so far a few people on a different board have said the 165.

 

thanks for all your help love the dfi boards and looking forward to learning as much as i can here

What are you going to be doing with it? What components do you plan on integrating?

 

And personally, the 165 may FEEL faster, but the 148 has great reviews, overclocks great, and is in the box I built for my gf's brother. I'd get the 148, it's $70 cheaper, and if your gaming, you won't really see any difference compared to a dual core 1.8Ghz, MAYBE a few more FPS, MAYBE.

if you want sli go with sli-dr... if not go with the ultra....

[rapty]

go for the 165 and dr.

I just got an Ultra D on the basis that I dont want Sli and the improvements in other areas on the Expert were not enough to make me pay the premium.

if you want the best....go for the eXpert mobo

expert was 4 quid more for me, so I went with it. Apparently a bit power sensitive, but no 4v jumper and auto SLi switch makes up...
