With the release of Intel's Core i7 processor and their X58 chipset, there is a plethora of motherboards available. MSI puts its .02 in the mainstream segment with the X58 Platinum, while not the "cream" of MSI's crop, it leaves little to be desired. Just how well does it stack up?

"MSI has labeled the X58 Platinum as part of their "Gaming Series", to prove out their point they have included several niceties that have come to be expected by the premier gaming Motherboard Manufacturers such as Asus, DFI, EVGA et all. Putting MSI clearly on the map of enthusiasts who want performance and stability for as little coin as possible."
