nForce4 motherboards tend to have a lot
of memory tweaks available, and the K8N Neo4 Platinum is no different. Tweakers
will definitely have a lot of fun in the DRAM Configuration section.
MSI offers a pretty well-developed
dynamic overclocking system, but that takes the fun away from overclocking. We disabled
it and did things manually. The motherboard clock speed can be adjusted from
200-400 MHz in 1 MHz increments, and you can change HTT speed as well as
width. PCI Express clock speed can be adjusted but they are best left at stock
speeds for stability. The maximum CPU voltage is 1.7V, memory voltage 2.85V and
chipset voltage 1.85V. Not the highest we've seen, but not bad either.

we just got a couple of 74gb WD740
Raptor hard drives in which have replaced our trusty 40GB WD IDE HDDs
as test drives. Please keep that in mind when viewing the office and disk
benchmarks.
