DFI LanParty Jr P45 T2RS Motherboard Review
Author: Jim Manis
Published: Sunday, January 25, 2009
Conclusion
Ninjalane would like to start off the conclusion with an apology to our readers. This review has turned into more of detailed overview than a full motherboard review. We had some issues getting the benchmark and overclocking data posted which ultimately lead to this decision. The LanParty Jr. P45-T2RS is a great little board and if you are looking for an Intel enabled MicroATX solution the P45 T2RS should be on your list.
DFI has given the masses the one thing they have been screaming for, a MicroATX motherboard that is true to the name of LAN Party. The smaller size and vast expandability options makes this board perfect for LAN Party setups as well as cramped dorm rooms and small apartments. Throw in some overclocking prowess, and Crossfire support and you have the makings of phenomenal cosmic powers in a itty-bitty living space
DFI did not give too much up in order to have the smaller size, the notable subtractions include the loss of a secondary NIC, and a debugger Diagnostic LED. Longer Radeon cards will have to be removed for memory swaps but all very typical things considering.
Now for the ever popular list of Good things and Bad things
