DFI CD70-SC - Ho-hum

Of all the boards tested, the DFI CD70-SC is the least spectacular - it has neither particularly positive nor particularly negative features. As far as its performance is concerned, the board always ranks among the lowest, which means that it's not that attractive for end users interested in performance. While the fact that DFI designed its own layout is admirable, it doesn't have a positive effect on the test.
