Ah, another board is upon us, that in the form of the MSI P6N SLI Platinum. In recent years, I have come to respect the quality of products that MSI has produced. We did in fact have recent opportunity to review two very nice MSI branded boards; those being the MSI 965 Platinum and the MSI 975X Platinum motherboards. While both being Intel Core 2 based (tested with our Intel E6400 processor) hardware, we had found them to be quite decent right out of the box. But as I have come to learn with regards to MSI hardware, the overclocking and tweaking potential is somewhat lacking.

Let's hope that the P6N SLI Platinum does better.

Intended for the Intel Quad Core series of processors (though a Core 2 Duo will work just fine), the P6N SLI Platinum sports the latest in NVIDIA chipsets with the 650i SLI. That chip looks to take hold as the new mainstream platform base for the PC market.

Perhaps the chipset is where we should start.
