MSI P45-8D Memory Lover Motherboard Review

jmke · 19th October 2008, 12:18

Did you know that the 'I' in MSI stands for 'Innovation'? Well, it doesn´t, but it should be changed, because of one reason: the MSI P45-8D Memory Lover. This motherboard features 8-dimm slot memory configuration, unseen on the mainstream desktop market. Madshrimps has a look at the performances of this motherboard in both DDR2 and DDR3 test setting comparing it to three other P45 motherboards; a 4-way P45 motherboard comparison in other words.

interesting little piece of work. too bad about the Divider issues.

you have to wonder what they were thinking by naming it the "Memory Lover", the box art used, the color for the memory slots and then the PCB itself though...

I presume they called it 'memory lover' because of the support of two types of memory. The box art is pretty cool, especially considering the 'lover'.

The pcb color, however, is UGLY!!
