Hadn't planned on it. I'm putting a 3400+ on it though so it will be running at 2.2GHz. It should be fast enough, I'm just looking for a board that will run SATA RAID on 2 WD Raptors stably. My Asus K8V won't do that.

Why would you waste money you don't have to on a $150 motherboard for that?!? If all you want to do is run two Raptors in RAID without overclocking, an ASRock K8S8X will give you the fastest performance of *any* K8 board for around $85. You're just throwing money away.

BTW, there's a Maximum PC review on the mobo. They gave it a 9 Kick Ass. oh and the native sata does mean you don't need to have a floppy and the drivers ready. (says in the review).

I noticed that as well. Oh well, you learn something new everyday.

I just got the new MSI K8N Neo Plat. nForce3 board and an A64 3000+ (everything at default for now)
For the life of me I can't figure out why the temps are so high...Right now it's running at 66 degrees C. I've been swapping out Athlon XP's and other CPU's for the past 3 years and have never had a problem like this.
I'm using Artic Silver 5 as the thermal compound...Just a rice size amount in the middle of the CPU...then put the HSF fan on...just like it shows on the artic silver website. Still it's running way to hot. I've even tried the cheap radio shack compound...same thing.
Any ideas?

I got my system going last night... I ran into one problem so far.. I set the "Halt On" errors to "ALL" (Its default is "All, but keyboard" And I get an error that the Keyboard is locked....
Im assuming this is a bug in the bios. Someone else that got this board can you test this theory for me? Set the "Halt On" to "ALL" and see if you get the same keyboard locked error?

One thing I forgot. It also says if you are going to run a RAID, you DO need to do the floppy/F6 trick thing. Only if you are just installing a regular SATA drive with no RAID, you don't need the floppy and drivers. (According to a MaximumPC review)
