The most popular chipset of 1st half year of 2007 must be Intel’s P35 + ICH9R.
So, X38 should be the most eye-catching chipset in the 2nd half year of 2007.
The differences between X38 and P35 are PCI-E 2.0 and Crossfire bandwidth as x16 + x16.
X38 is mainly support DDR3 memory. Some 1st tier manufacture has launched their X38 mobo around October.
After a month, DFI also launched their X38 motherboard too.
Meanwhile, DDR3 is relatively expansive.
Therefore, DFI “mix and match†X38 with DDR2 for a higher C/P ratio product.
The new model of X38 is a LANParty LT series.
They uses mostly white and blue color to light up the package box with some special clothing.
The accessories:
The menu, Driver CD, Cables, IO shield.
The audio part, they features Bernstein audio module, which uses ALC885 high definition codec.
The north bridge heat sink
DFI provides a high-level thermal paste- SHIN-ETSU X23-7783D
As per last model LP680i, this one can also add a fan on the heat sink too.
DFI LANParty LT X38-T2R motherboard:
The lower left of the board
*a total of three PCIe x16 slots (3way crossfire or a crossfire + physics render card)
1 x PCIe x1 slot
3 x PCI slots
Below VIA chipset, is the connecting port of Bernstein audio
The lower right:
1x Floppy
8 x SATA II (ICH9R + JMB 363)
ICH9R supports RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5
JMB363 supports RAID 0, 1
The upper right:
1x IDE
4x DIMM DDRII support 667/ 800/ 1066.
The upper left:
LANParty series keep using 8-phase digital PWM for CPU power supplying.
I know you can order a Transpiper separately.
