The time has come for Intel users to feel the power! MSI has produced a mainboard that offers Intel based systems the opportunity to use the much talked about DDR RAM. The new VIA Apollo Pro 266 chipset supports both SDRAM and DDR RAM types, making the new Pro266 Master from MSI highly flexible when it comes to memory support. At first glance the Pro266 Master looks to be another AMD T-Bird and Duron board, but this is far from the case.
Measuring in at a whopping 26cm wide and 30cm long puts the Pro266 Master in the heavy weight ATX category. With five PCI slots, one AGP slot, one CNR slot and the VIA VT8633/VT8233 killer chipset. The key feature to this board is going to be the dual memory support, the introduction of DDR RAM into the AMD line of processors created a significant gain in performance. Hopefully there will also be a significant gain in performance with the Intel CPU's.
