MSI has launched the latest 945P Platinum Deluxe motherboard. This
world-class product, aimed at home market, supports Dual Core processor
and comes with built-in DTS sound effect and next-generation dynamic
overclocking to fulfill the need of players for ultimate performance
and taste.
Experience the Dual Core power of MSI 945P Platinum
The all-new 945P Platinum motherboard uses Intel’s latest 945P
chipset which targets the mainstream market. It comes with top ICH7R
south bridge chipset, which utilizes Intel’s latest P4 LGA775 processor
design and can work with Intel’s 800MHz FSB and 1066MHz FSB processor
(including Pentium D, P4EE, Pentium 4 8xx, 5xx, 6xx and Celeron D).
Users, thus, can enjoy top power at low costs. And the memory, which is
of the same class as 955X chipset, uses dual channel DDR2 667 memory
improving the performance considerably compared to previous DDR400 and
DDR2 533.
The 945P Platinum motherboard comes with complete expansion
capabilities such as one PCI Express 16X display card interface and two
sets of PCI Express 1X interface to provide better flexibility. The
945P Platinum is the world’s first motherboard that offers DTS surround
sound effect and completely meets the DTS specifications. For example,
computer digital audio signals can be real-time converted to
high-fidelity 7.1 channel effect. Also, 2-channel audio like MP3 and CD
can be converted to a sound effect simulating 7.1 channel surround
sound. This provides a more realistic listening experience to digital
family. What’s more, complete input and output jacks fully support all
kinds of digital music production.
ICH7R is built with the newest SATA2 high-speed hard drive
interface. With Intel’s Matrix RAID technology, 4 sets of SATA2 jacks,
RAID 0/1/0+1 support, superb RAID 5 disk array, and the RAID 0+1
technology requiring only 3 hard drives to complete what traditionally
only at least 4 hard drives can do. Therefore, high-capacity,
high-efficiency, and complete back up functionalities are achieved. As
to IDE interface, in addition to the built-in IDE slot, VIA’s RAID
chipset is added to provide two additional IDE slots capable of
installing 4 hard disks or disc drives. Plus, the disk array of RAID 0,
1, 0+1 or JBOD makes 945P Platinum’s storage capacity close to the
server class.
The ICH7R also supports external SATA interface. So, just through
an external connector, users can use external e-SATA products, which
are more convenient and practical than SCSI in those days and will be
the best high-speed connection interface for all types of storage media
in the future.
The 945P Platinum lets users fully enjoy the fun of overclocking.
Thanks to the MSI RD effort, an all-new dynamic overclocking function
is introduced by dynamically enhancing the frequency and performance of
CPU FSB, memory and PCI-Express. When system load is heavy, performance
will be automatically increased to the performance figure that the user
sets. Maximum 115% can be increased to provide the user a brand-new
overclocking experience.
Strict MSI Product Test Assurance
The MSI motherboard is made from the best design and quality to ensure
its high performance and durability. The MSI 945P Platinum motherboard
adopts 5-phase PWM circuit design and thus provides higher power
circuit and more upgrade flexibility for the processor. Plus, the north
bridge power circuit uses high-quality Japanese capacitors, making the
motherboard powerful and durable. In addition, the MSI motherboard
offers multiple module support and strict testing control over memory
compatibility and optimization.
Because the best DDR2 667 memory structure is adopted,
verifications of different memory modules from various makers are
conducted to ensure the best product compatibility and the most stable
quality. MSI provides memory module compatibility lists on the MSI web
site, ranging from the newest 945P Platinum to other previously
released ones, in order to provide the most correct and complete
information. Of course, the lists might not entirely cover the
countless memory modules available in the market. But, these lists
already provide rich information and represent MSI’s focus on products
and care for the users.
Only the Latest and the Top Hardware Specification
MSI 945P Platinum motherboard, the top in Intel 945 series,
supports the latest P4 processor. The Dual Core processor increases
system performance by 10% to 50%. Related applications also provide
more complete support and better performance. Memory uses dual channel
DDR2 667, which increases system performance by at least 20% and the
room for overclocking. As long as the best memory modules are used,
memory performance can be enhanced easily and 945P Platinum motherboard
can be pushed to the limit.
As to the display card interface, the currently hottest PCI Express
x16 is used, which provides a bandwidth nearly 4 times larger than
traditional AGP 6X. When the latest display card product is used,
superb 3D performance can be reached to process all kinds of high-level
3D graphics. In addition, 2-set of PCI Express x1 expansion interface
let the user upgrade to more expansion cards and functionalities. Plus,
the network connection utilizes Intel Gigabit high-speed Ethernet
network interface. If Gigabit exchanger (or same class network product)
is added, the local area network bandwidth can be upgraded to the
enterprise level and thus, enhances the efficiency of file exchange.
The all-new 3rd generation DOT Express Dynamic Overclock Technology
A unique feature of MSI motherboard has been completely integrated into
945P Platinum. The 3rd generation DOT Express Technology adds a new
PCI-Express overclock feature to let the system increases CPU FSB,
memory, and PCI-Express clock at the same time when DOT dynamic
overclock is opened. Within the safety range, performance can be
improved up to 15% to fully experience the sensation of safe overclock.
Also, to provide the system with a better performance at the best time,
a unique detection technology of CPU circuit and PWM power circuit
switch is used. This can detect CPU loading within an extremely short
period of time (1ns only) and can instantly enable the overclock
mechanism together with a built-in circuit protection design to avoid
CPU overloading. DOT dynamic overclock effect is reached with high
safety to ensure user’s investment in the system.
Ultimate DTS Surround Sound Effect
The 945P Platinum not only has the superb operation performance support
for excellent visual enjoyment, but also emphasizes on listening
enjoyment by providing the only motherboard available in the market
that has DTS surround sound effect. AC’97 audio decoding chipset
produces high-fidelity 7.1 channel sound effect better than DOLBY. The
DTS surround sound effect on 945P Platinum completely meets the DTS
specification and can encode digital audio signals from computer games
and software to high-fidelity 7.1 channel sound effect. With PC
speakers or external home high-level audio system supporting DTS,
ultimate stereo surround sound is produced. In addition, the general
2-channel sound effect such as MP3, CD, and videos can be simulated to
a 7.1 channel sound effect to meet the highest demand for audio.
SafeBIOS design
The SafeBIOS design can automatically load backup BIOS data after
system startup failure. When system instability or even failed startup
(due to excessive overclock use or BIOS firmware upgrade failure)
occurs, or when a startup virus attacks, MSI’s exclusive CoreCell
control chip comes with the SafeBIOS technology to provide safe
original backup BIOS data function. Thus, user can reset the BIOS data
without any fear of damaging the motherboard.
Communication Slot
A proprietary communication slot with MSI’s exclusive optimization
design for PCI interface improvement. In addition to all the
functionalities that a common PCI interface has, dual wireless network
interface is supplied. As long as the user buys MSI’s dual-band
wireless network card and install it to the orange PCI interface with
communication slot, the user can use 802.11g application, as well as
simple and convenient wireless Bluetooth communication function. These
two are the mainstream communication protocols. ABC lets the user
easily have this wireless system through a simple upgrade procedure and
makes the top-class PC platform instantly become a center for digital
information and audio/video entertainment sharing.
Best Dual-Core platform in MSI 945P/G series
MSI have 4 models with 945P/G Neo Series, comes with 945P Neo Platinum,
945P Neo, 945G Neo Platinum, and 945G Neo, designed for different
needed and market, the best performance Dual-Core platform with high
end DTS quality 7.1 channel audio, brought to you the best performance
and user experience, only in MSI 945P/G series.
