news 28 Posted August 12, 2008 The P45 chipset has arrived to take the reins from the P35 chipset. MSI's latest still uses the cheaper DDR2, allowing you to get the most from the new without the need to stop using the old. http://www.viperlair.com/index.php/reviews/msi-p45-platinum.html "There are a few points that the Specifications don't cover. The first is MSI's new DrMOS and GreenPower, aimed at increasing power efficiency and lowering power usage. The P45 Platinum has some ye olde overclocking jumpers which allow you to increase the base FSB via hardware; personally I think this will be a little used feature by most. Enough time has passed that this would seem like a new feature to many, but the old(er) folks will remember these from days gone by when New Kids On The Block were cool. Like NKOTB, they should have probably remained in the past. That said, MSI's RapidBoost feature used in conjunction with the jumpers might better justify their inclusion." http://www.viperlair.com/index.php/reviews/msi-p45-platinum.html Share this post Link to post
