And you can control the SATA/IDE enhanced modes.

The "Advanced BIOS Features" let you control VT, SpeedStep and boot sequence.

The "Advanced Chipset Features" let you control the memory timing parameters - unfortunately only the "big four" are exposed.

The "Integrated Peripherals" menu lets you enable and disable on board peripherals.

Under "I/O Devices" you can configure the COM ports and the parallel port.

"Power Management" lets you control ACPI modes.

PNP/PCI Configuration allows you some limited control over interrupts.

The "Hardware Monitor" allows you to control the fans, and gives you information on voltages, fan speeds and temperatures.

AHA! Now we get to the fun part... the Cell Menu!

I REALLY like the Cell Menu.  As you can see from the shot above this screen is quite a step away from the traditional screens that we've been seeing for years.  Looks to me like many manufacturers are begining to specialize their BIOS overclocking sections to be increasingly user friendly.

MSI did an excellent job of organizing the Cell Menu - from showing the current processor FSB and multiplier, to showing the multiplied out processor speed and actual memory speed - its well done.

We can adjust the FSB, and it will show us the effective processor speed. I am disappointed that the BIOS does not let us set lower multipliers, and I don't like how there is a separate "Add CPU Voltage" setting, however at least its not expressed as a percentage!

The memory speed setting is straightforward, as is setting the memory voltage, PCIe speeds, Nortbridge votlage, and spread spectrum.

All in all this screen is great, but I wish that they would move the memory timings from "Advanced Chipset" here, and that they worked some more on the BIOS so that it would allow higher overclocks... but more on that later.
