MSI K7N2-L: the Enforcer
Conclusion:
It is in our opinion that this motherboard is truly the king of motherboards. It offers just about anything anyone would ever need onboard, great over clocking, and excellent usability. All of those attributes and the fact that it physically looks good is more than reason enough to give it the Invasion Editors Choice Award, but alas this award still does not exist. I?m pleased to say though that the Barton core will be supported by the NForce 2 boards so luckily this board will still have a good long run.

More nForce2: New Boards from Abit, Biostar and MSI
Summary: No Surprises
The new boards take widely different places in the test panel: MSI far ahead, Abit in the middle and Biostar, unhappily, way behind. Although performance differences are usually very slight, in a few benchmarks there is a good 10% difference from the fastest to the slowest candidate.
We will have to hold the high performance of the MSI board at arm's length, because the values are achieved by slightly enhanced FSB clock speeds - as always, this is not a reliable way to get high scores in the tests. Regardless of this, the K7N2-L offers an attractive price/ performance ratio, while the equipment of the K7N2G is on the same good level as that of the Asus A7N8X and the Chaintech 7 NJS.
The Biostar M7NCG lags somewhat behind in performance. However, the high-quality range of features, including FireWire and overclocking options, in conjunction with the usually lower price of Micro ATX boards makes up for this.
