MSI Neo4-F available

I think that this DOES NOT use the Ultra chipset. It doesn't mention SATA II support, although it does mention that "Transfer rate is up to 300MB/s". I think this may be a typo. It appears that this is a board MSI put out to compete with a board like the Gigabyte "GA-K8NF-9" which is referred to as an "nForce4 4X" board, but is NOT an Ultra board. Of course, I've been wrong once before...

Well I ordered this with the 3500+ after thinking I would just take the 3200+ but its only $100 more. I am pretty excited about moving up from my nforce2 platform. I bought the X800xl, Raptor drive and the ocz memory/psu that Anands been touting so I hope to have the parts by weeks end. I probably should have learned my lesson buying the rev 1 Asus a7n8x but I am very excited about this build.
 
just to let people know, I bought this board after few days it started to show up on ZZF. And I'm not sure whether it's my RAM or Mobo, but I keep on having major stability problem. My RAM ran fine on 2-3-3-6 timing on Nforce 2 board (a FIC AU13), but it keeps resetting itself with the new board @ SPD timing (2-3-3-6). I've got a 600 watt OCZ Powerstream and it still keeps rebooting. Now I've loosened the timing to 3-4-4-8 and hoping that will let me have a stable system..
 
ive always had good luck with msi, and was about to buy this but after reading the msi forums i found it has a problem with winnie cores and ocing. so went with chaintech and got nf4 ultra
 
I built mine last night and it runs perfectly. This is my first MSI board and I am impressed. I installed the Winchester 3500+ with stock fan and it idles at 26 degrees/ 32 playing HL2 maxed out. I installed it with a new Raptor drive, Powercolor x800 xl, OCZ 520 PSU and OCZ EL 3200 DDR. This is the first time I have been able to play every game at max detail with smooth fps. I am stoked. I dont see any need to OC right when everything plays so well.

Looks like the non-ultra version to me.
It says: Supports 3500+, 3800+, 4000+ Athlon 64FX 53, FX55 or higher CPU

This can't be right, can it? You're telling me it wouldn't support a 3200+ (or a 3000+, for that matter)?? NewEgg's site just says it supports "Socket 939 AMD Athlon 64 FX/64 processor."

I was thinking of getting this board with the 3200+. Will it work in this board or not? Does MSI just have a typo or what?
 
Because I'm not interested in the Chaintech VNF4 Ultra. I don't need what the Ultra offers, and I'd like to stick with a brand I know, have used, and trust.
