01 - Introduction

With the introduction of DDR2 memory for the Pentium 4 socket 775 motherboard this year, surely some of you had second thoughts about upgrading your systems due the cost of DDR2 memory. Here comes MSI with the solution: the MSI 915G Combo.

The main feature of the MSI 915G Combo is that you can plug in both DDR and DDR2 memory. This way, you won't have to spend any money on a brand new set of memory modules and/or have to throw away your old DDR modules. Later on, when DDR becomes obsolete and the price of DDR2 drops, you can switch the memory modules without having to change motherboard again.

As its name clearly states, MSI 915G Combo is powered by the Intel 915G chipset.(The G in 915G betrays the integrated Graphics card processor).

The chipset is located below a silverplated fanless heatsink, that makes it ideal for those who are looking for a noiseless motherboard.
