LANParty nForce 4 SLI-DR (UT Version also available)ĭFI also has another line primarily aimed at budget overclockers.The different variants include some of these popular products in the Lanparty series: Lanparty UT is still the most high end line of products and few chipsets are reserved under the name. There are other LanParty series like LT and DK(Dark). However, they don't contain the same power circuitry ("VRM/PWM") and BIOS options as their full-sized "ATX" counterparts. This series has proven to be a valuable segment in the future for small, powerful computers. The junior lineup "JR" is micro-ATX and they usually support Crossfire or SLI setups with dual-slot videocards.

Diamond Flower being the name of David and YC Lu's mother, translated from mandarin. Recently there has been confusion over what DFI means, however Design for Innovation appears to simply be a slogan, a situation with close parallels to Lucky Goldstar with their slogan of Life's Good and Micro-Star International's slogan of My Style Inside.Īctually, DFI, stands for Diamond Flower International. They now specialized in some industrial computing and legacy parts for old computers. The head of the LANParty range was Oskar Wu, who joined DFI after he resigned from ABIT after the NForce series.Ĭurrently, as of 2006, DFI had left being one of the most competitive manufacture as it used to be in 90's. One was the standard OEM line, another is the Infinity budget range, and the last as the LANParty range. In 2003, DFI internally reorganised its line into 3 distinct groups. In 1998, DFI became the sole design partner for the Intel 810 series chipset, which gained more attention. It peaked as high as one of the top 15 motherboard manufacturers at that time. After 5 years, DFI quickly gained a reputation in the Asia-Pacific region. In 1992, DFI abandoned its graphics card production and switched to the production of motherboards as the graphics card market was too limited at the time and did not have potential to grow. At that time, DFI began as a graphics card maker with a turnover of 100 cards. DFI was first established in 1981 by Y.C Lu.
