Difference between SLI-D and SLI-DR.

[Flanker]

The Lanparty UT SLI board has two versions, SLI-D and SLI-DR. Hardly anyone buys the SLI-D, and its cheaper by $8.

Whats the diff?

the DR has more Serial ATA connectors and an extra LED for diagnostics.. thats all i see.

So for $8 more, you get some more perks...I'd still go with the SLI-DR though, more people have it = more support.

Not really flanker, all DFI boards are built the same

The DR has some funky cool diagnostics
