MSI K9A Platinum (ATI Crossfire Xpress 3200)

Previous Next
10:44 AM - 12/26/2007 by Patrick Schmid

Board Revision: 1.0
Installed BIOS: 1.2 (09-25-2006)
Upgraded with: 1.8 (11-02-2007)

The K9A Platinum was MSI's socket AM2 flagship motherboard based on the ATI Crossfire Xpress 3200 chipset. Different from the nForce chipsets, which support dual Nvidia graphics setup in SLI mode, this product can run ATI Crossfire dual graphics on AMD processors. The feature set is reasonable, but comprehensive, but we were disappointed not having found a BIOS update with support for Phenom; especially since this motherboard is based on an AMD/ATI chipset and since the last update was not even two months ago. Low-end Sempron processors now are supported; Phenom is not. Hopefully MSI will follow up soon.

too many vendors boycott the upgradebility they just dont want to release a simple bios update because they want to force costumers to buy a new motherboard. it would anger me i would have bought a am2 motherboard and the vendor was such a bastard to boycott the upgrade.today those bios updates are rare too find. so far i have only few vendors who upgrade there bios. apperently ASUS support it the best so that is why i will choose ASUS above all those cheap bastards from now on
