Intel makes your CPU; why not have them make your motherboard as well? The BOXDP43TF is an LGA775 board supporting processors from the Core 2 Quad to the Celeron so you can build a system powerful enough for your needs that you can easily upgrade later. You can add up to 8GB of DDR2 800 memory to support the operating system.
The motherboard is designed to support the advanced features that today's power users are looking for. It has a 6 channel audio system for true surround sound. It also has 6xUSB, 1xFireWire and a Gigabit Ethernet port.
File sizes are getting larger, especially for audio and video, so we need more secure ways to manage our data. There are 6xSATA internal ports so you can hook up plenty of drives. Since you have plenty of available connectors you can use one drive for the OS and software and have extra drives for data. This speeds up system performance, especially when multi-tasking.

XP SP2 or SP3
- Pros: So this motherboard is brand new, and a great motherboard I give it that. It has all the typical connections and ports.
- Cons: I spent several hours Installing XP PRO, with a XP pro copy that I have used for a very long time. It is a volume license copy. When the setup rebooted into the Windows install screen, the system would blue screen in the middle of device install. I troubleshooted all parts, with spare parts, the disc for scratches, and turned off all extra features in the BIOS. Nothing worked. I consulted with IT in my company and they informed me that with the newer motherboards, you need to install xp with a disc of SP2 or later. I thought I would pass the word along because this took hours for me to figure out.
- Other Thoughts: Hope my insight was helpfull
Solid Board, Easy Install
- Pros: Nice solid board from Intel. Easy to find and download drivers. 6 USB ports on the back, 6 SATA ports. Great getting started guide with big, easy to read schematics for the pin-outs and motherboard headers. A breeze to install and rock solid out of the box.
- Cons: None really. Gigabit NIC doesn't support jumbo frames, but nothing in this price range is anyway.
You don't buy an Intel board to overclock (no customization) or for hardcore gaming (no SLI).
- Other Thoughts: Transplanted my Core2 6750, 4x1GB DDR2 modules, Radeon 4850. Running smoothly.

Be VERY careful
- Pros: Nice -- if it works.
Newegg's and Intel's service with all of the RMA's on this board was somewhere between really good and outstanding.
- Cons: I've gone through three of these boards in the past 4 months. The first one came DOA from Newegg. If the memory was installed in one channel, it would check the memory, and then hang before the BIOS got to checking video. If it was in the other channel, video would work, but then the machine hung halfway through posting. I RMA'd it and Newegg sent me a new one.
The second one lasted a little more than a month, before the same thing happened to it. Newegg's warranty was out by this time, so I had to deal with Intel over it. I talked to a tech on the phone about it (unusual these days), and he seemed to have quite a bit of knowledge, and I sent in my mobo, and got a new one in the mail-----
-----which was DOA. Same deal. The post process gets through checking memory, and dies before checking the video.
On the first two boards, the tech suspected that it might be the RAM (it was the wrong voltage), but I used only Intel-approved RAM on the third board, and still the same deal.
- Other Thoughts: I'm kinda sick of dealing with so many RMAs, so I'm just going to buy a different motherboard. I can't afford to waste more time and money on this board.
Newegg/Intel service was great (I alluded to this before; how often do you get to talk to an actual tech when you call a manufacturer?!), but I think 2 boards DOA and the other dying within about a month and a half, all with the same symptoms, says something about the board.
Bad Board!
- Pros: Wouldn't Know.
- Cons: I have bought many boards from Intel despite everyone saying they would never buy a board from Intel. I have never had any problems with an Intel board. Until now. I could not get this board to boot up no matter how hard I tried. I couldn't even get it to boot to Bios. After hours with Intel support, they agreed to send a replacement. The replacement did the exact same thing - NOTHING! It still would not boot up. Since Intel is no longer making boards with the layout I desire, I bought a Gigabyte board. It looks ugly like a 4 year old built it out of Lego's. But I used all the same components and what do you know? It works. My advice: Don't buy this board unless you don't mind all the aggrevation of buying a board that doesn't work.
- Other Thoughts: I'm really bummed. I definitely prefer the look of Intel's boards. I will look into Intel again with my next upgrade.
Problem board
- Pros: None
- Cons: The first board came and wouldn't boot up. I replaced memory and tried everything. Intel told me to send it back. The next one I finally got it to work, but it crashes. Blue screen and then it won't reboot. And I know it's the bios, because it reboots different. I've had to clear cmos, which isn't a lot of fun because they put the jumper under my video card. It crashed yesterday and won't boot no matter what I do. Now it's just an expensive paper wieght. I wondered why this board that sold for over a $1,000 last year is under a $100. now
