MSI K8N Neo4-F

The MSI K8N Neo4-F may be an entry-level board in terms of price, but the selection of onboard hardware is equivalent to many higher priced motherboards. The K8N Neo4-F supports Socket 939 AMD processors, and features dual-channel DDR266/333/400 memory support (4 DIMM sockets - 4GB max) through the Athlon 64's integrated memory controller. Other onboard features include PCIe x16 graphics, 1 x PCIe x4, 1 x PCIe x1, 4 x PCI, 2 x PATA with RAID, 4 x SATA with NVRAID, 1 x Floppy, 10 x USB 2.0, 7.1-channel audio, and integrated Gigabit LAN. This is certainly a nice hardware mix for a "value" gaming system, and the MSI K8N Neo4-F gives us the price, performance and features necessary for our AMD system.
