Anybody heard anything about these boards? The Diamond has 4 PCI-E x16 :eek: for quad SLI and it has onboard X-Fi. I'll try one as soon as they are released!!

onboard x-fi now thats what im talking about.
too bad their last board with onboard creative chipset had a crap load of issues.
i still have faith in MSI i've always enjoyed their baords but the last intel baord i had was a NEO2 FIS2R which was a killer, but its the last one i had.
its just that their last 2 years of boards havent been that great ouside of the 939/754 NEO/NEO2 Plat. boards.

sadly their last attempt at creative Audio onboard was a mistake.

MSI boards seem to be going for a lot cheaper than other brands too at the moment...
Over here the P965 is £90 and the 975X PPUE is £125. About £30 less than competing boards with the same feature set. Of course admittedly they don't over clock anywhere near as well, but still they are kick ass boards and the P965 especially is great value for money.
I was set on the DFI nF680i, but if the MSI is a lot cheaper (and stable!) I may go for that instead!

Any new info on these boards?
The vanilla MSI P6N is available in the UK, but it's just a rebadged reference board :(
I want a Diamond!! :devil:

Wow, only £66! That could be a bargain if it's a stable board...
