Introduction

Nvidia's corporate strategy in recent months seems to be features, features, features and more features in every area of their business. Let's look at what they have released recently; drivers that enhance desktop and game functionality, the GeForce 6800 series that has arguably leapfrogged the competition in terms of feature set on the graphics front, and the NForce 3 250Gb on the motherboard side. Nvidia demoed a NForce 3 system here for us in Vancouver a few weeks ago and it was impressive. Moving away from strictly a 'hey our board is faster than yours approach', Nvidia has listened to criticisms surrounding the Nforce 150 chipset as well as adding in novel features previously not found in motherboards.

MSI is no stranger to the motherboard industry and traditionally releases strong products. Personally, I have several MSI boards in service at home and with friends and family. Today we take a look at their NForce 3 250Gb based K8N Neo Platinum Edition, which should be one of the first 250Gb boards to make it out of the gate.
