MSI nForce4 PCI-E/SLI Motherboards - MSI K8N Diamond & K8N Neo4 Platinum

MSI, one of the leading computer motherboard manufacturers and the well-known AMD platform solution provider, today announced the debut of nForce4 chipset family motherboards. The MSI K8N Diamond and K8N Neo4 Platinum motherboards offer cinematic processing with powerful PCI Express x16 graphics interface and Nvidia’s exclusive SLI technology.

The K8N Diamond with Nvidia SLI technology can accelerate the 3D performance by over 180% via two SLI-ready graphics cards. The Nvidia nForce4 chipset features configurable PCI Express lanes for SLI technology, and the graphics interface can be set as a single PCI Express x16 or dual PCI Express x8.

The other new interface is SATA2 which supports data transfer rates up to 3GB/sec - twice the speed of SATA1. The NVRAID 2.0 can obtain unmatched storage performance with SATA2 hard drives in the wink of an eye. Its scalability can also configure the disk array across SATA and IDE hard drives as single RAID.

MSI has also adopted the Silicon Image RAID controller for its nForce4 family motherboards. It offers two additional ports with SATA2 for K8N Diamond and RAID 5 function for K8N Neo4 Platinum.
