Cluck posted a mini review on the DFI DK P45-T2RS P45 chipset based motherboard



Today I'm going to embark on a mini living review of DFI's latest mid range, DDR2, P45 chipset based motherboard.

I'm calling this a "mini" living review as really, it is a preview of DFI's ABS (Auto Boost System) technology, rather than an overclocking fest, although there will be some overclocking later.

The guys at DFI are extremely proud of their Auto Boost System, and are keen for people to get to grips with it, and that's exactly what we are going to do.

In a nutshell, ABS is simply a set of predefined preloaded overclocking profiles that can be loaded at startup by pressing a key (F1 for example).

There are many different profiles available for various combinations of memory and CPU, but the great part is that the profiles can be swapped with other users online, so there will be a huge database of downloadable profiles available once people start to share them.

Admittedly, this technology is aimed at novice overclockers and anyone that requires a quick boost, however, more advanced users can also define their own profiles.

I will look more closely at ABS later, but first, let's have a look at the official specs of the P45-T2RS.
