DFI LANPARTY BI G41-T33 Review


Today we have the opportunity to take a look at another board in the LanParty series from DFI.  The LanParty series has always been a favorite of mine because of the tweaking options and the overclocking ability that they have.  The board we get to look at today, though, was one that most would not think would belong in that series of boards.  It is a micro board, uses the older LGA775 socket coupled with DDR3 memory, and has the G41 chipset that sports the GMA X4500 on-board graphics chip.  Does that sound like a board in the LanParty series?  We plan to put it through our testing to see if it is a board that you should be looking at for your next upgrade.  First off though, let's look at the specs.
