DH Exclusive: MSI 945P NEO

***Veridian3*** · Jun 27, 2005, 11:36 PM

We'll its an exclusive where i am (UK)... and more than likely where you are so enjoy....

"The MSI 945P Neo Platinum, as the name suggests uses Intel’s non-onboard gfx 945 chipset and mixes it with MSI’s own feaures such as the DOT3 overclocking. To aid all of you pondering your next upgrade on the socket 775 platform we will include comparison results from Abit’s AA8XE Fatal1ty board and the recently released P5ND2-SLI Deluxe board from Asus which is based on the Nforce 4 chipset...
... Our synthetic tests show really interesting figures, in every single test the 945 based MSI board is faster than the 925XE and Nforce4 based boards. Considering how fast the NF4 chipset actually is this is a real achievement for MSI/Intel and as far as synthetic tests go the MSI 945P Neo Platinum is the fastest board we have tested to date. "

Looks like a really sweet board imo, this can very well be the same hit as the NF3 Neo2 for A64's by the looks of this review...
Well done Stuart! (again)

DTS 7.1 audio

I'd buy the motherboard just for that. There isn't even a soundcard on the market that can do that.
