| MSI 848P Neo Motherboard : Intro and Specs |
|
|
|
With the introduction of 800MHz FSB Pentium4 CPUs, we saw Intel launching two chipsets- the 875P and the 865PE. The 875P was targeted towards the high-end sector whereas the 865PE catered to the average user. Both of these chipsets supported a dual-channel memory controller. Today, we take a look at the MSI 848P Neo motherboard based on Intel’s latest 848P chipset. This particular chipset only supports a single channel memory controller and is targeted towards the budget segment. Lets find out if the aggressive pricing puts a major tax on its performance in our review of the MSI 848P Neo motherboard.
