Life-like graphics, characters that look and move like actors in a movie, scenery so real you can smell it: 64-bit computing will take computer games to new levels, and give new meaning to the term reality check. You'll have to check twice that what's on the screen isn't actually happening.
The Athlon 64 brings 64-bit computing to the desktop PC, and once the rest of the world catches up, your video and gaming experience will leap miles forward, forever changing the way you think about gaming. Yes, you want to get your hands on one of the latest Athlon 64 processors (socket 754 or socket 939) and built a new-era gaming system that blows away anything you'd seen before.
The great news about the Athlon 64 is that today's 32-bit applications run spectacularly through it and the real-world gaming experience is absolutely awesome.
No type of system cries out for the most bleeding-edge components harder than a gaming system. Whether it's the high-powered processors, screaming fast video cards, excessive amounts of memory, bullet-fast hard drives, huge high-resolution displays, or floor-rattling sound systems, a gaming PC has something to capture your passion for high-end computers.
MSI put together a motherboard list, which would greatly enhance your game playing and 64-bit computing experience. These motherboards feature cutting-edge technology and are optimized for performance and designed to deliver ultra-smooth gameplay at maximum resolutions, which bring game worlds to life! |

K8T Neo2-FIR
“The board was able to achieve an overclock of 158MHz without any voltage adjustment, not great for most desktop processors but not bad for the Athlon 64 3800+. Overall, MSI put together a great product with the K8T Neo2-FIR. With great performance and tons of features built in, the MSI K8T Neo2-FIR is one of the best Socket 939 motherboards around, and is a board that will carry on MSI's legacy on the Athlon 64 platform for many months to come.” – VR-Zone.com |

K8N Neo Platinum
“The MSI K8N Neo Platinum is a truly excellent motherboard that competes in every way with the best of the Socket 754 motherboards. Its performance is virtually identical to the Epox board, and the feature set is second to none. If Firewire is a requirement, the K8N Neo Platinum belongs at the top of your shopping list. If you want a board that makes top performance easy, then the MSI is also the top choice. Its CoreCell and D.O.T. Ranger auto overclock make the performance of overclocking accessible to even beginners. However, the auto features can be turned off if you like to "roll your own" for top performance. Users will also be pleased with the features that they will find in the box on this high-end Platinum series board.” – Anandtech.com |

K8N Neo2 Platinum
“Based on top performance, the full implementation of the nForce3-250 Ultra features, value, overclocking performance, and flexibility, the MSI K8N Neo2 emerges from a class of top Socket 939 Athlon 64 boards as our Gold Editors Choice. This makes the K8N Neo2 our choice as the best Athlon 64 motherboard that you can buy. MSI has produced two excellent motherboards in a row based on nVidia chipsets for Athlon 64. The K8N Neo for A64 Socket 764 was also one of our top choices for Single-Channel Athlon 64. The K8N Neo2 continues that performance as the top Athlon 64 motherboard that you can buy.” – Anandtech.com |
