I don't mean to break the thread or anything, but it's not a hot deal. You can buy the 3200+ retail at Newegg for $205 and the motherboard (which is not the platinum) for $100, so it's basically the same price getting them together at outpost as it is getting them seperately at newegg.

newegg
3200+ retail $207
MSI mb $105 + 5 ship
+ 2 gifts.

(tax for me in NJ)

so yeah newegg may be better.

What is the difference between this board and the platinum?

the onboard firewire and there are two more usb ports on the platinum. I didnt need either, and well this board rox. People told me that my twinmos may have a problem with this motherboard.... it doesnt. As a matter of fact from what i see... it loves it. I would definitely recommend this mobo. I love it. Took me a half hour to put it in, set it up, and get it running on xp.
