Clean and spacious, but after everything is installed the middle area tends to get crowded with cables. Even with a huge graphics card, you lose at most one PCie saga slot. Both main and auxiliary ATX power connectors are located towards the back in the middle, close to the MCH ssta, which in itself is a problem. The good thing about the board is that MSI tries to make up for its core deficiencies.

As a result, we have a board with a clean layout, but not exactly free from problems. Please swta HWZ for the latest reviews and news. Supports four unbuffered DIMM of 1.
We love how much room the DIMM and expansion slots enjoy, but our chief complaint is with the middle of the board. Prev Page 2 of 9.

Simply a very good ultrabook 29 Dec - Review. The rest of the board's features are pretty decent as well. The IDE channel is also needed to 9p65 legacy optical and storage devices. FireWire, not surprisingly, is a feature that is not included on the board.
Or do away with extra features for a higher-end CPU. MSI only carries a modest two-board lineup that clearly distinguishes the line between feature-rich performance P Platinum and mainstream P Neo.

Will you blow your budget on a feature-rich motherboard and settle for a less powerful processor? With AMD, sats was an expensive upgrade path and core component overhaul to adopt Socket AM2, but Intel isn't all that better off either. Barring the huge population of enthusiasts out there who are able to just continuously upgrade to the latest and baddest hardware with impunity, we of finite monetary resources have to strike a balance of features and performance.
Also notice the wide berth on both sides of the PCIe x Storage capabilities on the P Neo. Of course, we decided to go ahead and overclock it anyway, this being a review and all.
Read on to find out what they are, but before we start though, we'll let you familiarize yourself with the board's technical specifications. In order to lower costs further, the P Neo uses a dedicated single-chip Gigabit network controller instead of relying on the onboard Gigabit MAC. The P Neo actually sports a very expandable slot configuration.
Introduction Every time the PC industry forces a new platform into the market, it's the users that always get left behind. Too bad the board is intentionally limited by its BIOS. Also frees up vertical spacing between the CPU socket. After playing around with the MSI P Neo, our results were not all that unexpected, but we did make some interesting observations.
After installation, we find that the combination makes it a little hard to access the CPU cooler retention clips in that corner. Simple memory timing, voltage and core frequencies are just about all you can tweak and the absence of voltage controls for both CPU and chipset will tell you just where the board stands.
Because the ICH8 has no advanced performance features and coupled with the fact that Intel chose to remove IDE support altogether, it is not surprising to find that MSI favors the JMicron controller as primary storage.

The mid-fi closed-back headphone edition 28 Dec - Feature. Fresh from reviewing the high-end Gigabyte GAP-DQ6 a while back, we were curious as to how the P chipset would perform in a mainstream configuration like the P Neo.
