Review of Pentium II Boards with Intel's 440LX Chipset
Microstar International (MSI) MS-6111
The MS-6111 from MSI is quite a bit of a surprise. I never came across a board that was such an obvious performance leader amongst competitors with the very same technology. As I know from fellow hardware testers no 440LX board could so far reach the performance of the MS-6111 and this although it's also just using the 440LX chipset and no special features at all. It is almost regardless which benchmark you're running, it always scores the highest results and that with quite a distance to the other boards. The only exception to this rule is the Highend Winstone 97 under NT, where for some reasons the AOpen AX6L is faster.
The board comes with 4 DIMM slots, no SIMM slots, 1 AGP slot, 4 PCI slots and 3 ISA slots and is also an ATX form factor board.
