CES 2011: MSI’s Bulldozer Ready Motherboard

Rounding out our MSI coverage at CES, Senior Editor Gordon Mah Ung takes an early look at MSI’s upcoming AM3+ board, which will allow for, that’s right, AMD Bulldozer support. The board also features SATA 6Gbs ports on the south bridge, a four x16 PCI-E 2.0 slots, and comes stocked with OC Genie, which can automatically overclock your machine to safe and faster levels. And perhaps due too much Sierra Nevada Ale from Nvidia’s Kegputer, Gordon gets his wires crossed by saying that AM3+ may not support AM3 procs. It’s more likely that AM3+ will support AM3 procs, but you can’t run the newer AM3+ in your existing AM3 motherboard.
