It’s almost half a year when Intel Bearlake chipset launched.
3 top motherboard manufacturers were released different version’s P35 platform.
Price is quite reasonable, which are around US$135~160. That kinds of pricing are popular in the market.
DFI has created 3 different P35 based motherboards.
They are: DFI LP UT P35-T2R/DFI LP LT P35-T2R.
Two high-end models are mostly focus on performance and overclocking.
Later, DFI also released an entry-level version: Blood-Iron P35.
Overclock performance is good as usual. But features and components usage is a quite “entry-level”….
Recently, DFI launched a new LANParty series, called DK.
The LANParty DK P35. It has 3 different versions:
1)full solid capacitor + ICH9R
2)full Japanese capacitors + ICH9R 3)full Japanese capacitors + ICH9
They priced around US$150~170.
The leading character this time is DFI LANParty DK P35’s Jap. Caps. + ICH9R version

This model also has CMOS Reloaded function, it almost the same to high-end model’s P35.
I used this QX6800 CPU OC with most P35 boards in the market, it gained around FSB470~480. Although the highest record with quad-core almost reached 484MHz.
It is hard to imagine that this DK series board can push the FSB limitation to another level. It rocks me. Hope these 3 version of DK series can be satisfied enthusiast as a different choice!!
