SLI-DR

DFI is getting their SLI-DR Expert board ready for massavailability this week and will use the current nForce 4 SLI chipset instead ofthe new nForce 4 SLI X16 chipset. Reason cited is that there is no performancebenefit running two x16. The layout of the SLI-DR Expert board is different fromthe current one with changes made to the CPU socket, DIMM slots, PWM area.According to DFI, it is meant to improve overall heat dissipation. The x16 slotsare now wider and the SLI mode is digitally controlled that will bring moreconvenience to the SLI users. The emphasis of this board is on the memory aspectwhere it can support 4 sticks of 1GB DDR400 memories at 1T. The memory voltagesoption in the BIOS is further enhanced with finer steppings for eg. 2.80, 2.83,2.87, 2.9V.
