With its bright red PCB, and yellow IDE-RAID ports glaring at us we removed the MSI 845 Ultra from its box in record time and in went a 2.0 GHz Pentium 4 with an Arkua 8568 (copper core) sitting on top. We've always like MSI boards because they generally offer very good overclockability and so it will be interesting to see just how high we can pump up the 845 Ultra-ARU.
In addition to its on board IDE RAID via the ATA133 Promise PDC20276 controller, and support for up to 2GB PC2100/PC1600 DDR the MSI 845 Ultra also supports four integrated USB2.0 ports thanks to a small NEC BGA by the CNR.
