DFI ISN'T EXACTLY a household name in enthusiast circles, but they've built up quite a reputation for themselves over the years. Mainly prominent in the OEM space, DFI has been quietly building motherboards for years, and they are only now looking to the enthusiast community as a potential market.
For the Pentium 4 crowd, DFI has the NB70-SC, a typical mainstream offering that hints at DFI's future potential. However, at only $85, even a typical Pentium 4 motherboard can turn heads.
We've had the NB70-SC in house for some time now, and this review was even held up by an interesting AC'97 on-board audio issue that seems to affect more than just the NB70-SC. What were able to uncover about AC'97's limitations? How does the NB70-SC compare with its competition? What can DFI's current offerings tell us about their potential for the enthusiast market? The answers follow.
