MSI K8N Diamond Plus nForce 4 SLI x16

When manufacturers started putting out motherboards with SLI support from NVIDIA there was quite a lot of interest about the technology. As time went on, a lot of folks questioned if the nForce 4 SLI chipset would ever be updated to support two 16x PCIe Graphics ports rather than two ports sharing 16x lanes (8 each). NVIDIA responded by releasing the NVIDIA SLI-16x, a two chip solution, which manufacturers have started to update their product line-ups with.

MSI’s 2005 was an ok year, but they were not at the top of their game. Towards the end of 2005 and the beginning of this year, new products have emerged from them that look set to change that. One such product is an update to their Flagship K8N motherboard, released as the K8N Diamond Plus. With an almost overflow of features including SATAII and an nForce4 SLI x16 chipset, we thought it was time we got a good look at this motherboard.
