To the OP: I was wondering the same thing. Found this:

Not a huge amount of difference among them. Main thing is s/n ratio on 2ZS vs 4, and external IO on 2ZS Plat Pro and 4. ZS Platinum is same as ZS except with a 5.25" front...
What version BIOS are people running?
I got version 1.0 on mine which shows a date of 1/12/2005. The current version MSI's support page shows is 1.1, dated 1/13/2005. The MSI description of the update is wonderfully vivid (NOT): "Improve system working efficiency." What the heck is that...
Yah - I've seen the same thing. My BFG 6800GT OC idles at around 49C but goes up to about 60C when gaming/benching, then drops right back to 49-50 immediately after. I've got a big case, but only 3 fans (2 120's and 1 80mm), so the card must also be pretty good at dissipating its heat.
Might want to check out the NEC 3520a - got good comments on AT recently: only about $65 at NewEgg

I put one in my new system (built this weekend) and have found it to be quiet and fast. Added bonus: it's one of the few DVD burners that...
The OCZ PS works great with this mobo - just plug the full 24-pin connector into the main power, and the 4-pin P4 connector to the CPU power.

Coolwind says: regarding the metal bracket - I was not comfortable applying so much force to the mobo to take it off, so I just left it on and tried mounting the HSF to it. It's more substantial than the bracket Zalman provides, and the HSF lined up just fine with the top of the CPU using the...
On NCQ - while I see nothing about it in the manual, the mobo recognized my Seagate 200GB SATA drive with NCQ without any issues. I'm at work now but will check tonight to see if there is something listed in device manager that indicates NCQ is enabled and functioning.
On the Orange PCI...
Just built my first system (yea!) using this mobo over the weekend. (The Newegg picture is accurate). Worked perfectly right out of the box. I'm still running BIOS v 1.0 although v1.1 came out the day after my board shipped :-(. Right now, I see no point in flashing BIOS, since everything...
Just bought and built a system using the MSI K8N Neo4. So far, so good. Very easy install, works like a dream out of the box. Will post more once I'm done testing and tweaking it. :-)
Got it for 149.99 plus shipping from ZZF.
