DFI LanParty BI G41-T33 Motherboard Review @ Legit Reviews

When our review of the BloodIron G41 went live I had a quick chat with them in regards to the feedback the get from other editors.  Seems that most people have a hard time understanding that a mainstream motherboard is designed to be cheap and not a gamers dream board.

I think some of that stems from a change in how DFI is marketing the company.  In previous years everything DFI did in relation to the LanParty brand was focused on the high-end.  The verbal minority (ie people reading this) did a great job at spreading the word and things were good.  Fast forward to now, more companies have come forth with high-end enthusiast platforms to sell alongside their mid and low range stuff.  DFI never really had a low-end but instead focused on the OEM market, so the bottom line here is if DFI is going excel at what they do they need to expand the product line and start focusing on some of their other products.

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...

I would expect to see many more BloodIron products hitting the streets and various review sites, the interesting part will be to see what sites buy into the change which ones will resist.
