Taken in isolation, the DFI i925X-T2's specifications look impressive. Every board, however, should be judged in relation to other manufacturer's. A lack of secondary RAID is an obvious area where DFI is lacking. ASUS, for example, managed to include FireWire800, additional SATA RAID, and Wireless networking. In comparison, then, the DFI is a touch lightweight on the features front.
