One fact about modding DFI Lanparty NF4 motherboards...
A MONKEY COULD DO IT!!!!
a) Absolutely EVERY SINGLE DFI LANPARTY NF4 Motherboard is SLI capable (some need to be modded).
b) Currently only those with "SLI" in their names include the SLI Bridge. So check again, I doubt they have anything in storage for a couple of years. DFI stopped including bridges on Ultras about 18 months ago.
c) I do NOT have a Lanparty "ultra-D" I only have a Lanparty "D". The diference is that mine can be modded to SATA 2 as well as to SLI (Ultra D includes SATA 2). Both mods are done with a PENCIL and they work.
d) Mine doesn't have a 2nd Gigabit Port. Didn't know that when i bought it.
e) The newer version of ultra has a some black dot of "crap" on top of the "SLI activators" in the chipset. Just remove it with a razor or a very sharp knife. Just take your time and slowly rub it until you reach the actual chip. No need to rush, if you are really scared of damaging something take an hour or two removing the epoxi (it can be done in less than 5 mins but you can take 2 hours doing it if you like).
f) DFI lanparties rock... first time EVER overclocking and in a week i got my 3000+ venice to 2.574 GHz on air (43% increase), fully stable I still don't know much about timings and my room temperature is like 40ºC (105ºF). That board is just amazing. I left all the memory timing on auto and went straight ahead for the multiplier/divider/HTT. I'm sure i can get like 2.8 Ghz if i go and take more time but I'm 15 hours a day away from home between work, gym and other shores, so I spend most my time playing instead of overclocking.
Last but not least:
I'm planning to upgrade to an used 4400+ X2, used 8800 GTS or similar and a 2nd gig of ram next year. An upgrade that will probably cost me less than 500$ and will break into pieces anything I could buy now and leave the rest of my money on a premium laptop like the Dell M2010 (¿laptop with wireless keyboard? awesome)
