MSI P965 Platinum review Intel's P965 chipset can do CrossFire too |
09/29/2006 |
| In our recently published article on motherboards suitable for the Core 2 Duo chips, we could only test MSI's entry level motherboard, the P965 Neo-F. This motherboard impressed us because of its stability and performance, bit did not offer many extra features or very good overclocking abilities. Because of these thing the board therefore will not be very popular with enthouiasts or overclockers, but MSI has introduced a new board based on the 965 chipset. The MSI P965 Platinum is their new high end 965 model, and will compete directly with the likes of ASUS' P5B Deluxe and Gigabytes 965P-DQ6. Lees meer |
