A Blast To The Past

I was going through benchmarks and various things in the past on a lot of old HD's this morning and came across the pic below. Yes, i is a sad old git that does keep old HD's, especially if they have bench results on them. Anyway, having done that, i was wondering if there was anyone on the forum that still remembered the NF2 days ? More importantly, did any of you get awarded a "Toaster" from DFI Street at the time ?
I know for a fact there were 100's and 100's of us on OCUK that were also on DFI Street at the time. If you did, Then post up your Toaster if you still have a copy of it.

What mobo was that then Rroff ? it defo wasn't a Lanparty.

865pe Infinity I think - can't remember now but the board before or after that was a Lanparty then I had the DFI 975X before they disappeared from the market.

DFI really knew how to innovate especially with those Lanparty boards - a lot of BIOS features like saveable profiles they pretty much pioneered.

Ahhh, makes sense. Never did have an Infinity myself....... that's why i didn't recognize it. You is 100% right on saveable bios profiles as well. They never existed before DFI came on the scene. I also remember DFI being the first mobo manufacturer offering swapable bios chips. I used to have at least 3 or 4 bios chips flashed with different bios's depending on what sort of clock and bench i was going to run

I think that most of us did various volt mods back in the day I remember using a pencil volt mod at some point.

Found this earlier:

Sadly don't think any of my Super PI screenshots have survived older than the E6600.

Miss those days when you could buy some really special, innovative bits of kit rather than today where its just ever increasingly more expensive versions of the top end kit without anything really special/different. (Though it has saved me spending a lot of money lately on the other hand).

Havn't found any of my E6600 Pi screenies, but did find this:

Mine was under Phase 24/7 at the time

Yeah I remember

Socket 775

Yep I was using a Lanparty P35 then as well. Kept the same mobo and dropped an E8500 and then an E8600 when they were released.
