The motherboard or mainboard is the component that connects all the different parts of your computer. Often it has some integrated components like a sound card, enabling your computer to play sound, or a network card, to connect your computer to the network. The standard form factor (size) for motherboards is ATX, you need at least a midi-tower to fit one of those in. Micro-ATX motherboards are often more complete and have more onboard devices, like a video board and fit in smaller cases, but are generally less expandable.

Now that AMD and ATi are more than just good friends, the latters chipsets are likely to be receiving considerably greater favour from the former. With the release of the CrossFire Xpress 3200 chipset aka RD580, ATi finally gave AMD fans good reason...
Bottom line We cant help feeling the K9A Platinum is a bit of a missed opportunity. Its a decent enough package, but for a performance board it doesnt take full advantage of the RD580s extensive tweaking options, leaving you with a much more limited range. It...

ATI's CrossFire Xpress 3200 had a bit of a revamp when the Canadian graphics and chipset manufacturer was acquired by AMD in the second half of last year. AMD decided to rebrand the chipset to AMD 580X CrossFire, with the lower end CrossFire Xpress 1...
Bottom line MSIs K9A Platinum is an excellent performer at stock speeds, but its overclocking capabilities are a little bugged and somewhat limited. If youre looking for an overclockers motherboard, youre better looking at more expensive boards from DFI, Abit...

In the wake of the announced merger of ATI and AMD two months ago everything in the motherboard and computer industry will likely change. I won't go into a commentary on the merger, as I've done so already in other reviews. The combined company will co...
Bottom line With the proposed merger of AMD and ATI, ATI chipsets is likely to become the dominant AMD motherboard chipset maker, supplanting NVIDIA. Their joint platform strategy may give future AMD chipsets an edge when compared to competing solutions. That's th...

Bluetooth 16 Aug 2006 MSI K9A Platinum ATi RD580 + SB600 is ATIs CrossFire solution chipset for the AM2 mainboard. A few months ago, we checked out the chipset and found it to have a good feature set comparable to the NVIDIA flavour. One of such is th...

Bottom line MSI K9A Platinum is the latest board that uses the new ATi RD580 + SB600. In our test, we find that the performance is pretty good. With our comparison with an equivalent board based on the same chipset, the MSI K9A Platinums BIOS can be tweak to squ...

ATIs chipset division, talented as they are, seem to have always played second fiddle to rival nVidia. Both nVidia and ATI started originally producing chipsets in 2001/2002 for low-end markets, using their experience in producing graphics processors as l...
