MSI Announces Motherboards and Server Barebones Supporting AMD Quad-Core Opteron™

Polaris573 · Sep 15, 2007, 05:59 PM

Along with the new generation AMD Opteron processors (code-named Barcelona), MSI has launched its new server products – K9NU Speedster server board and K1-106 rack server.

Based around the nForce 3400 chipset, K9NU-Speedster Series motherboards and K1-106 Series server barebones support single AMD Opteron 2200 series quad-core processors. K9NU-Speedster Series also provide memory bandwidth up to 8.5GB/s (DDR2-533) or 10.5GB/s (DDR2-667). XGI Volari Z7 graphic processor with 16MB video memory can meet users’ needs without adding a graphics adapter. However, both motherboards have two PCI-E x16 slot supporting NVIDIA SLI technology for future expansion.
