MSI P965 Neo S775 Motherboard
I got myself an Intel Extreme X6800 processor a month ago and I needed a motherboard that was able to support it also. There were several chipsets to choose from, price and performance are of course the main things I look at, and my choice fell on a Msi P965 Neo motherboard. The 965 chipset is not the fastest but still puts up a good fight vs 975 chipsets on the market. The main thing with this board is that you can get it for under 100$ which is a bargain compared to even older 945 chipset boards. So it's time to test this one out and see what it can do vs a AMD motherboard with a overclocked 4800+ AM2 under the hood.
