DFI INFINITY 975X/G Motherboard Review

I have only owned one of these motherboards, it was for a Intel?286 processor. That was quite some time ago. This motherboard lasted over two years, the reason for replacing it was not a hardware failure but upgrade to a faster processor.

I think this motherboard has a lot of potential for the person who likes the latest and greatest.

It has built in upgrade features like the FSB up to 1066, the IEEE1394 ports for future devices. The dual channel DDR2 memory with the speed of up to 800 MHz is a plus. With a embedded LAN capability of 1 Gig and eight usb ports you lack nothing on this board. This board will take a system to the extreme, the only draw back I can see with this board is it only has one processor slot, but with duo or quad core capability that will make it usable for quite some time.
