DFI, the worldwide renowned motherboard manufacturer, is about to introduce two new products designed to support the latest AMD and Intel technologies. The AMD-based mobo will be equipped with the 790GX + SB750 chipset combo, while the Intel-based motherboard will run with Intel's P45 and ICH10R chipsets. Both products are expected to provide support for high-end desktop computer systems and will be part of the company's JR series.

DFI is known for its high-end desktop motherboards, which perform especially well when it comes to overclocking ? so we should expect its latest products to follow the same recipe.

The Intel-based JR P45-T2RS is built on a Micro-ATX PCB and will allow users to benefit from the latest Intel Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad and Core 2 Extreme processors. The Northbridge, Southbridge and PWM is cooled down by a fanless heatsink for optimum noise-free performance. With the four memory DIMMs, users can go as high as 8GB of DDR2 memory, while the 2 PCIe graphics slots will provide support for high-end graphics. There are 6 SATA 3G ports that are compatible with RAID 5 configurations.

The AMD-based motherboard has been designed to meet the needs of gamers on a budget ? however, DFI hasn't yet released any price info for either of the two boards. The JR 790GX-M2RS is also built on a Micro-ATX PCB and will provide users with support for the latest AMD Athlon and Phenom processors. The board has four yellow and green-colored memory DIMMs, which can set users up with a maximum of 8GB of DDR2 memory. The two CrossFireX-ready PCIe graphics slots are designed for the latest in AMD graphics performance, enabling users to equip their desktop system with two Radeon cards for an impressive graphics quality.

As mentioned above, the company hasn't released any details on pricing, but the boards are expected to make their way into stores later this month.
