May 2008, Intel launched their new chipset solution, P45 + ICH10R
This June, many motherboard vendors launched their new P45 products just like P965 and P35 in the last two years.
DFI, well known on high-end overclock motherboard market, as we were told,
DFI will release 3 of P45 models to retail market this year to please their loyal overclockers and gamers.
This review, we will primarily focus on these two, DFI LANPARTY DK P45-T2RS and DK P45-T2RS PLUS,
retail price expected to be lower than most of high-end overclockable P45 products in the retail market.
LANPARTY JR P45-T2R - This is DFI’s first attempt on OC Micro-ATX products, will also be released soon.
DFI LANPARTY DK P45-T2RS and DK P45-T2RS PLUS are almost identical, except Plus edition comes with extra 2 SATAII ports.

Each new released Dark series product comes with new package design.
