Being an MSI motherboard the MSI K9N Platinum is very well equipped, featuring everything an affordable AM2 motherboard should have. Priced at just $120 US the K9N Platinum is amazing value. Furthermore, considering the fact that an accompanying AMD Athlon64 3800+ processor goes for roughly the same amount, the AM2 platform is shaping up to be a very competitive solution. This motherboard supports Dual-Channel DDR2 memory, Serial ATAII RAID, 8-Channel Audio, Dual Gigabit LAN, PCI Express 16x, Firewire and USB 2.0. The board design and layout is also very good!
