Thank you for purchasing the K8D Master3-133 Series (MS-
9161), an excellent Server System Infrastructure (SSI) mainboard
from MSI.
Based on the innovative
AMD-8131 PCI-X Tunnel
and
AMD-
8111 I/O HUB
chipsets for optimal system efficiency, K8D Master3-
133 Series SSI mainboards accommodate dual latest AMD Opteron
TM
DP
processors in the 940-pin lidded ceramic micro PGA package, and
supports up to twelve 144-bit DDR registered ECC DIMMs (at 200,
266, 333, and 400 MHz) to provide the maximum of 24GB memory
capacity.
In the entry-level and mid-range market segment, this mainboard
can provide a high-performance solution for today’s front-end and
general purpose server/workstation, as well as in the future.
