msi k8n neo4-F vs. neo4-platinum

[jbs2222]

Whats the diffrence besides platinum has 8 sata??
If i dont need all the extra stuff the platinum has will i still get the same performance with the neo4-F version??Does it overclock just as well as the platinum???

Thx in advanced for all the help

i'll probably get the MSI K8N neo4-F unless theres a better board for the same price (70-90$) by late August.

The standard version uses the normal chipset. The platinum uses the ultra.

Oh yeah besides the ultra chipset having sata 2.0 and that other feature (forgot what it was) is there a performance diffrence?

 

[imported_Kensai]

Just a little one.

 

[jbs2222]

how much is a little? sorry for all the questions its just that there is a 50$ price diffrence

i think it doesn't over clock as well, nforce4 vanilla usually has a locked HT bus

Oddly Enuff the ChainTech VNF4 Ultra is in the same price range and is a Highly recomended Board. It Lacks the OC'ing ability of some boards and a Firewire Port but is Very stable and Fast at Stock

You can mod the Regular Nforce to enable SATA-2 and SLI.... (If it has 2 PCI-e 16x slots.)

On the Ultra-D, it already has Sata-2 but no sli, works similer.

Just letting you know.
