Hardware Description

The P7N Diamond is based on the 780i SLI Northbridge and NF570 SLI Southbridge, and features PCI-E 2.0 support. The sound solution is provided by Creative Labs' X-Fi Xtreme Audio MSI Edition sound card, and is a member of the first generation of PCI-E X-Fi products from Creative. So will this new chipset be an improvement over the 680i? Did Nvidia get past the FSB holes and chipset heat issues that have plagued their Socket 775 motherboards.
