..:: Introduction ::..

Well, it has certainly been quite some time since we last had the pleasure of taking a thorough

look at a motherboard based off of an AMD platform. Over the course of the Athlon64 series of

processors, AMD has been able to expand their user base, and impress more consumers with

their technology than many would’ve expected. With the upcoming release of the various

Athlon64 supporting chipsets that will feature PCI-E support, there’s no doubt many will want to

upgrade to this new platform if they’re looking for the best of the best. What we have for you

today is MSI’s K8T Neo2-FIR, a motherboard based off of the VIA K8T800 Pro chipset.

Although this won’t be the absolute best option available here in a matter of weeks, it also

poses a good buy considering prices on these boards will drop as soon as the newer K8T890

and nForce4 boards begin to hit the market, especially if NVIDIA can keep to their schedule.

Let’s see what VIA has to offer in the K8T800 chipset, and what MSI can do with it.
