PC Perspective gives DFI's nForce 4 SLI motherboard a run through the paces. The feature list on the new DFI SLI-DR motherboard is rather impressive, including a lot of storage and accessory options. There are eight channels of SATA supported on the motherboard courtesy of the NVIDIA chipset and another third-party chip. Two IDE channels should allow you to carry over most of your IDE hard drives and optical drives to the new PCI Express-based system. For networking, DFI included two Gigabit networking connections, currently the fastest consumer standard on the market. There are also numerous USB 2.0 jacks on the back of the board as well as a Firewire port for multimedia accessories. They seemed to be really impressed with this board to the point of giving it their Gold Award. If you're looking at a motherboard for SLI (or not), you might want to check out the review.
