Three Premium nForce4 Motherboards from Gigabyte, Jetway, and MSI
MSI P4N Diamond
Board-Revision: 1.0
BIOS Version: 1.3
We first (and briefly) introduced MSI's P4N Diamond in the context of a highly controversial article . The board hasn't changed much in our estimation since that coverage. It demonstrated no problems, and its equipment is entirely comparable to that of the Gigabyte board covered earlier in this story.
The board's overclocking functions and its many built-ins are as valuable as those of the Gigabyte board, though not exactly the same. For example, MSI offers a Creative Labs sound chip, while Gigabyte counters with an extra UltraATA/133 port. The Northbridge fan is canceled out by an automatic SLI switch, which bests the jumpers that most other boards use to turn SLI on or off.
