[edit] bashing
Is someone against DFI here? Are they really that bad that the article is keep away motherboard of death page? --85.186.135.114 20:19, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with you. Someone has a problem with DFI. The "Technical Issues" section is a little bias. It points out all of the problems with DFI's motherboards. I am using a computer with one now and I have never had any problems with my motherboard. They are well made and made to last. --BenWhitey 00:14, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

- Well most the issues are real with the cold boot issues from the Infinity range to the picky RAM issues with Lanparty series. I do have to say it's a bit too general but if you take a look at DFI Street, you'll find a multitute issues that were addressed here. (Sora3 10:33, 29 November 2006 (UTC)).

[edit] Title: DFI or Diamond Flower International?
It is general guidelines in Wikipedia that unless something is known mainly by it's acronym name (NASA, laser, etc.), that the title of the article should be the spelled out name. Not being familiar with Diamond Flower International, I do not know which is the more commonly used title, but I wanted to ask those who did know in order to make sure that the article title is correct. Thanks! -- Natalya 21:58, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
- On websites that sell their products and even on the packaging, DFI is what is used. Few people know that Diamond Flower International is the real name. Sykil 22:00, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks. Sounds like the title is good then. -- Natalya 13:17, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
- I disagree personally in regards to that. Even though its a trademark slogan, the company's official title is still Diamond Flower International; in my opinion, whether they prefer being known as one or the other to the enthusiast community is irrelevent, and the company should be known as what they are incorporated under.

- This is an interesting problem. In the article it says that DFI stands for Design for Innovation. I looked on DFI's website and I can't find either "Design for innovation" or "Diamond Flower International." The article should say what DFI stands for, but I do not know what it is. --BenWhitey 00:40, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Motherboards
DFI's Lanparty series only has 3 boards, as seen at: http://www.dfi.com.tw/Product/xx_product_lp_us.jsp?PAGE_TYPE=US&CATEGORY_TYPE=LP&INDEX_TYPE=MB&SITE=US The sries that is mentioned in the article is actually the Lanparty UT series. Any thoughts on this? --BenWhitey 00:14, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- DFI actually created two separate lines of the LANParty series. The UT is to cater for enthusiasts that didn't need the extra features in the LANParty lines such as the PC Transpo bag and the ActiveX front panel. Most of the LANParty's these days are the UT line as demand for the LANParty scaled back due to the high price tag associated with the LANParty. (Sora3 10:31, 29 November 2006 (UTC)).
