mobile xp 2600+ and dfi lanparty ultra b

[vood0g]

is this a good cpu/board combination? i was wondering because i like the UV reactive board. i asked this question in the motherboard forum, but no one replied.

Yep, from what I've read, the DFI board is one of the two best boards to use with the mobile chips (Abit NF7-S being the other one). Lots of features on the board, and they appear to like the high FSB speeds and multipliers greater than 12.5x.

*waits for myocardia to post about the greatness of the NF7-S board*

[Edit]Dammit!

hmm...then do you know of another UV reactive board that i may be able to use? i am into this UV reactive phase, and its driving me crazy!

So some of the newer boards are sensitive to sunlight?

Just slap a little sun-tan lotion an that to protect against the UV's.

What FSB's are you getting with the DFI's?

For overclocking, it doesn't seem to be as good as it's cheaper little brother, the Ultra Infinity. Well, it overclocks as well, but the people with a Lanpary B are having to use a bios not written by DFI, which I would never do. If that doesn't bother you, then you might be happy with the combination.

where did you read this? i have the same mobo with stock bios and it overclocks perfectly. not a single issue.

I wouldnt mind having any NF7-S as long as it hits 200FSB because Im not into higher FSB's.

memory and cache scores are your friend.

I have the rev a of this board and love it. I have run it all the way up to 230 without a problem on an unlocked 2500+ non-mobile. GREAT board. I think it equals the NF7-S in all areas but on-board features where in it rocks all other boards on the market.

You know, I completely left out a part in that post. Sorry. What I meant to say that if you want to go higher fsb's than the cheaper Ultra Infinity can do, you have to run a non-DFI bios. That board will do up to 260fsb with the bios that some guy wrote for it. Both the Lanparty and the Ultra Infinity will do up to around 230fsb (give or take) with the DFI bios, which is exactly the reason that I bought the cheaper Ultra Infinity.

So in other words, the Lanparty and the Infinity can perform the same, but the Lanparty can do a little better with a 3rd party bios?
