New DFI mobos

I think they are just about the same. All I'm gonna do is switch out motherboards and I already have all round cables already(blue).
This is all you need to make a Infinity 865Pe into a lanparty:

Then why do they have different bios?

 

[autoMATTic]

I dont know. But I'm willing to bet the infinity can do everything the lanparty can do. Angry_games you got any idea?

 

[Nimblor]

I will give you a nickle if you flash the Lanparty 865pe bios to a 865pe INfinity... or vice versa

 

[Angry_Games]

the engineers in Taiwan say the Infinity I865PE can outdo even the LanParty I875B boards... =)

 

[Nimblor]

Inconcievable. How could the fastest motherboard also be the cheapest?

 

[autoMATTic]

Its cheaper b/c it doesnt have all those flashy do-dads I guess. But hey thats good to hear if you ask me.

 

[Angry_Games]

the price of the LP boards is more about the accessories and such. You do get what you pay for, I have the I875B LP board @ 301FSB 5:4 3.66Ghz without any hassles at all...but the Infinity I865PE board....even the engineers in Taiwan tout this as one of the fastest Intel boards ever (i just dont have anymore P4's to plug into one heh)

 

[autoMATTic]

I wonder if the Infinity 865PE is compatible with the new Prescotts?

 

[Angry_Games]

they are with the current engineering samples (2.8's), but we really wont know if they will all be 100% compat until Intel finalizes them and sends them out to mfg's =/

I wonder if the performance enhancing case stickers and other do-dads will give the Lanparty 865pe and edge over the 865pe Infinity. One can never underestimate the performance boost to be gained by such methods.

 

[autoMATTic]

Hey angry games you think a bios revision could fix any compatibility issues with the Prescotts?

 

[Angry_Games]

again it depends on Intel's final version of the Prescott...until Intel gives us a real pre-retail (not engineering sample) chip and says 'this is the final version', our best guess is as good as yours =)

as for the Infinity I865PE vs the LanParty I865PE...same board, pcb, bios etc...just the LP board has of course all the goodies etc (basically same difference as there is between the Infinity NF2 and LanParty NF2 "B")

I knew it!

 

[Angry_Games]

i think im building a 2.8Prescott for CES on an I875B so I know the pre-samples are working in the 875 chipset lol

 

[autoMATTic]

I want to get that 865pe infintity board but I'm gonna wait until feb. or until there is a definate word that its Prescott compatible.

 

[Angry_Games]

we wont have definite prescott support until Intel finalizes their design and gives us a final version for retail testing =/
