MSI har lanceret to nye bundkort til AMD's Opteron processor, begge er baseret på VIA's K8T 800 chipset. K8T Master er udstyret med en enkelt Socket 940, mens der findes to af slagsen på K8T Master2. Her er pressemeddelelsen:

MSI Computer Corporation, one of the information technology industry's leading manufacturers of personal computer hardware products and solutions, introduced today two new motherboard platforms, the K8T Master1 and K8T Master2, utilizing AMD's new 64-bit Opteron? processor for server and workstation applications. The K8T Master2 designed for dual Opteron? and K8T Master1 for single Opteron? applications respectively. With the K8T Master Series, MSI addresses the needs of high-performance and stable platforms for workstation and server markets.

In addition to providing the high performance and stability features required for workstation and server market applications, the K8T Master series has the specs necessary to allow overall I/O performance to be greatly enhanced. For example, these K8T Master series boards utilize a precision 6-layer board circuit design for optimal signal and circuit separation according to property frequency; a feature which greatly enhances the stability and performance of workstation products. Furthermore, the K8T Master series also supports Gigabit LAN chip, AGP Pro 8X, and 4 sets of PCI (32-bit/33MHz) slots; and the design utilizing 4 sets of DDR333 DIMMs can also support up to 8GB of Registered ECC memories.

These K8T Master series platforms also utilize MSI's exclusive CoreCell? chip and technology which provides for less noise, more power-saving and longer component life by using the special CoreCenter? software interface to automatically or manually adjust the best performance paramaters such as Dynamic Overclock Technology (DOT) as needed.

Additionally, these platforms also support MSI's newly developed µStar® Server Management Solution with iConsole. Based on the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)v1.5 specification, µStar® Server Managenent with iConsole is a client/server management tool that allows system administrators to remotely monitor, control and manage server functions. These new functions combined with the high peformance and stability of the MSI K8T Master series makes MSI the logical choice for new-generation workstations.
