The 64-bit computing brings a new dawn for the conventional 32-bit CPU technology. MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard is determined to bring tremendous waves to this brand new era.

The MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard can provide the most reliable 64-bit environment for the latest hardware and software. From cinematic 3D game and stable operating system to powerful applications, K8N Neo2 Platinum can maximize their cutting-edge advantages.

The MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard has also adopted the powerful Nvidia Nforce3 Ultra chipset, which natively supports the gigabit Ethernet and NVRAID technology with RAID 0, 1, 0+1.

The Platinum series represents the highest quality of MSI flagship motherboards. To qualify for this respected series name, a platinum motherboard must be fully loaded and must have been validated with the strictest standard of compatibility.

HyperTransport bus on Socket 939 Athlon 64 and Athlon FX were raised to 2000 MHz bandwidth. Socket 939 Athlon 64 and Athlon 64 FX support dual memory channel of 6.4GB/s bandwidth. Upgraded with Windows XP Service Pack 2, the new EVP (Enhanced Virus Protection) technology in Athlon 64 (Socket 939) and Athlon 64 FX can prevent memory overflow attacks from viruses.

The Athlon 64 (Socket 939) and Athlon 64 FX both support the AMD "Cool n Quite" technology. As the pioneer in supporting "Cool n Quite" technology on K8 platform, MSI K8T Neo and K8N Neo Platinum (Socket 754) has been perfectly compatible with "Cool n Quite" before AMD officially announces its new support with more than 2 DIMM slots.

MSI also integrated more exclusive technology onboard, including CoreCell chip, D.O.T (Dynamic Overclocking Technology), Meta I/O and the new Communication slot.

The Communication slot is an optimized and extended version of the basic PCI specification that can provide ultimate interface for PCI network cards. MSI has developed proprietary Dual-Net card exclusively for communication slot(s) which combine 802.11g wireless networking and Bluetooth technology. This add-on card with antenna offers convenient connection to most wireless devices.

MSI has also designed a new user interface called DigiCell especially for the Communication slot, which helps users' start-up the access point and gateway in just two clicks. Only two steps away from turning your MSI motherboard into a Digital Home Center.

Unless you have extra dollars to spare, MSI's Wireless LAN card is tailored for the budget-minded consumer. It eliminates the cost of physical access point and IP sharing device. You can actually upgrade your PC system into a home server or digital entertainment for your family to enjoy.

Installed with MSI wireless networking card, user can save the cost of physical access point and IP sharing device. Your PC system could be upgraded as home server or digital entertainment server for the family.

Digicell not only has additional function for communication, but also supports onboard features for MSI MEGA Stick - MP3 player. You can manage your MP3 playlist and speaker setting in the easiest way.

AMD "Cool n Quite" technology is the answer to your PC noise problem. Designed to decrease power consumption and noise output, MSI has applied this brilliant technology to its full-line scale K8 solutions.

Meta I/O™, the complete rear I/O option for supporting all external accessories. It includes all types of S/PDIF, Coaxial, and Optical connectors from IEEE 1394 to DV camcorder, and supports 7.1 channel surround sound from high definition audio.

CoreCell Chip has four new technical features: Speedster, BuzzFree, PowerPro, and LifePro.

The Speedster technology of CoreCell Chip contains the most flexible BIOS options for overclocking, including async mode of FSB and memory frequency, 0.05V increment for memory voltage adjustment and the minimal increment of 0.0125V for Vcore.

BuzzFree technology examines the current system utilization and temperature level before leveraging thermal requirement & fan speed. It dramatically cuts the system noise by 50% by getting rid of the annoying buzz. Moreover, it also improves the quality of audio and video.

PowerPro prolongs the life of the motherboard, CPU, and fan by maintaining them under the optimum condition. It also detects and manages the motherboard utilization to prevent possible factors that may contribute to system crash.

LifePro technology prolongs the life of the motherboard, CPU and fan by maintaining then under the best condition. It can also detect and manage motherboard utilization to prevent possible factors that may contribute to system crash.

CoreCenter™, this all-in-one hardware console is an advanced combination of the popular PC alert and Fuzzy logic applications. It offers powerful functions such as hardware monitor, system alert, and instinctive overclocking UI.

Live Update™ 3 is a single utility software that automatically checks BIOS and driver updates. It includes MSI's Live BIOS™, Live Drive™, Live VGA BIOS™, and Live Utility™. Advanced users would also receive the latest information about MSI products and activities from MSI technical support.
