According to a recent leaked MSI roadmap, there are some upcoming motherboards in Q2 supporting the new dual-core offerings from Intel and AMD. There are also some notebooks using AMD Turion "Taylor" dual-core processors based on Socket M1 (638-pin) and supports DDR2-667.
On the AMD server front, there is a dual-core Socket F (1207) Opteron 200 and 800 series codenamed "Santa Rosa" that supports 2 x 1MB L2, registered DDR2, Memory RAS, Security and Virtualization. A workstation chipset offering from NVIDIA is their MCP55 that supports 2 x PCI-E x16 slots while the server chipset offering from Serverworks known as MSI K9SD Master supports up to 16 DDR2 DIMM slots and 2 x PCI-E x8 slots.

I've been an MSI fan for the last few years and I hope these new boards are a little more stable (for performance) than earlier ones. The problem I've always had have been memory timings. Seems they just won't hold tighter timings when a comparable board will. Even memory tested well above the timings I choose...for some reason my last 2 MSI boards just can't hold them for long. I'll hop into the BIOS a week later and they've been changed. Beyond that, their featureset is usually the best I've seen. |

The caps on my MSI nForce1 board just recently crapped out. |
