"Micro-Star International (MSI) has launched two Nvidia nForce4-based motherboards, the K8N Diamond and K8N Neo 4 Platinum, for the Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Athlon 64 processor platform, according to a company press release.

The K8N Diamond features the Nvidia nForce4 SLI MCP (media and communication processor), and the graphics interface can be set to a single PCI Express x16 or dual PCI Express x8. According to MSI, the K8N Diamond can accelerate 3D performance by over 180% when using two SLI-ready graphics cards.

The K8N nForce4 boards also feature a SATA-2 interface that supports hard-disk data transfer rates of up to 3Gb/sec, twice as fast as SATA-1, MSI said.

MSI has also adopted Silicon Image’s RAID controller for these nForce 4-based motherboards. It supports two additional SATA-2 ports on the K8N Diamond and RAID 5 functionality for the K8N Neo 4 Platinum.

Both boards also support other MSI technologies and functions, such as a CoreCell chip, DOT (dynamic overclocking technology) and Meta I/O, according to the release."

intel 925/915 boards ain't going to get much bigger guns

8 sata channels and 10 usb 2.0 channels more than enought for even the most extreme enthuiast

I read that the 1066FSB P4 Extremely Expensive edition is still playing catch up with the FX-55 so I would say that its NOT wasted on an @MD platform and is right where it belongs
