MSI K9NU Neo @ Hardwarezone
Hardwarezone reviews the MSI K9NU Neo motherboard which is based on the ULi M1697 chipset supporting AMD’s AM2 processors. Hardwarezone gives this budget board a final score of 4.5 out of 5 and writes in the conclusion:
Without a doubt, the MSI K9NU Neo is an exceptional motherboard for the Socket AM2 platform. From the tests and benchmarks that we’ve run, we can say MSI engineers have been very successful in the board’s implementation. As the board is targeted towards the budget segments, our tests focused on boards within its range, but as our results show, the K9NU Neo is really on par with even the latest nForce 500 series chipsets in terms of raw performance. Most importantly, the board really shines in desktop productivity and business applications as reflected by its huge lead in both SYSmark 2004 and PCMark05 benchmarks, which is exactly the intended market for this board.
