MSI 760MP AMD dually board for $200

[CMonster]

Wah-hoo! I especially like the two PCI64 slots, my Adaptec 29160 will finally be able to slip its entire edge into a slot http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

Normally I would not get too excited about a MSI motherboard but that sounds like an excelent price.

Doesnt PCI 64 pump the price a good couple bucks for the people who dont need it?
I'm quietly waiting for a version of the board with everything I need and not much I don't...something like Abit would make me http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif.

I like Onboard LAN though. One less card I need in my system, and onboard LAN doesnt usually perform as badly as, say, Onboard sound/Video. They can chunk the CNR as well..It might shave 50c off the board, something better spent on a...super size or something.

I've been waiting for 760MP boards forever. I can wait a *little* longer for one I can appreciate for all its worth.

BTW glad the other half of your SCSI card will find a home http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

EDIT - Im gunna take a stab at the Abit name of the 760 Board...Since the BP6 and VP6 were the SMP boards of Intel, and they named the KT7 after the chipset, Im gunna guess MP7...Or maybe it sounds too much like Media Player 7.0. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

MSI K7D Master information
Well I am back in Taiwan after three days in China. I have some more information on MSI's dual AMD board. I saw the board again today and actually have a spec sheet on it. The boards name will be K7D Master and will feature four memory slots, one AGP Pro, one CNR, two PCI 64, three PCI 32, and onboard LAN. The board is supposedly going to cost much less then the Tyan board, probably in the $200 range.
