<strong>Dual Performance</strong><br />
The LANParty UT CFX3200-DR utilizes ATI’s CrossFire Xpress 3200 chipset to offer the power of multiple Graphics Processing Units combined in a single system. Hence, users can easily boost their system’s performance by utilizing the CrossFire mode via a second graphics card. Furthermore, the DFI LANParty UT CFX3200-DR underwent stringent tests on the CrossFire platform and met the highest standard of compatibility to proudly be an ATI-certified product. Regardless of which series of ATI graphic cards the users have, they can confidently incorporate the DFI LANParty UT CFX3200-DR motherboard with their current ATI graphic cards to either enhance or upgrade their system. <br />
In addition, the DFI LANParty UT CFX3200-DR uses the ULi M1575 chipset for its Southbridge, providing users with SATAII support. <br />
<strong>Teaming</strong><strong> </strong><br />
As always, each new DFI model is equipped with innovative DFI technology to deliver enhanced performance. The LANParty UT CFX3200-DR is the first DFI motherboard featuring dual GbE LAN with teaming.<br />
Customers look for improved network uptime and better network throughput. DFI LANParty UT CFX3200-DR networking adapter teaming meets both of these needs. It improves network uptime by protecting the network in the event of a network failure. This protection prevents users from losing connectivity. This network adapter teaming also offers better network throughput by distributing traffic efficiently across these ports.<br />
<br />
A team consists of two ports that function as though they were a single NIC. This virtual NIC appears to the system as a single physical address and a single IP address. Should one NIC in this team fail, the remaining NICs assume the failed NIC's traffic, providing resiliency. This fault tolerance is provided by all the configurations of teams available. When teamed, each NIC can also share the network traffic load, increasing the network throughput. Each type of team provides varying levels of traffic management, (called load balancing), and all teams provide fault tolerance. <br />

<p><strong>RLMT</strong><br />
Another first-of-DFI technology that is incorporated in the LANParty UT CFX3200-DR is RLMT (Redundant Link Management Technology). <br />
Dual Link Ethernet Controllers provide two ports. Part of each driver is the Marvell® Redundant Link Management Technology (RLMT), which monitors the status of the ports. If the link of the active port fails, RLMT switches immediately to the standby link. With RLMT, users can have an added piece-of-mind when overclocking and gaming with the DFI LANParty UT CFX3200-DR motherboard. <br />
<strong>EZ Clear</strong><br />
Most overclockers and enthusiasts suffer fatal crash when they overclock the system beyond the limit. Normally, the solution is to manually clear the CMOS by opening the chassis to access the Clear CMOS jumper. With EZ Clear, one of DFI's first-of technologies, it allows you to bypass the manual process by simply pressing the reset and power buttons at the same time. This will restore the clock settings back to their default values. OC becomes faster and easier. <br />
