The new product from MicroStar is almost a complete copy of its predecessor MSI 925X Neo. The only difference between these two motherboards is their chipsets. Intel has designed a new chipset — i925XE — to support recently released Pentium 4 XE (Extreme Edition) processors. In its turn, such a large company as MSI couldn't ignore this event and designed MSI 925XE Neo Platinum based on the Intel chipset. This model supports 1066 MHz FSB and dual-channel DDR2 (operating frequency can be set up in BIOS: DDR2 333 / 400 / 533 / 600 / 667 MHz). The key feature of this product is CPU Ratio Unlock, which allows to modify the clock frequency of the FSB synchronously with the memory clock frequency (for the conformity of memory channel throughputs and FSB, as they say). As for the rest, this motherboard is practically no different from the Foxconn 925XE7AA, based on the same chipset, in its functionality and performance.
