MSI has given us their first Dual AMD platform in the K7D Master. The layout is well designed and the spacing of the sockets is such that installation of the hestsinks went with little difficulty. Installation of the OS and associated drivers was a breeze with the included installation disk provided by MSI. The system during our testing was completely stable with the exception of our journey to the edge at 150mhz FSB. Even then the K7D Master performed as if it would have been possible to stabilize the system if we could have only been able to up the voltage a bit. The ability to overclock not only via the bus settings but also by choosing the CPU multiplier is nice. Having run all our Dual Platform tests with 1.2 Palominos has its advantages as these CPU's are not locked and allow for multiplier adjustments. If you are looking to utilize this feature with the newer MP's you will have to unlock them first which for many, is more of a project than they are willing to undertake. Pushing the FSB is a simple method of gaining performance and is something any end user can do. It is well worth the little effort it takes to get the extra power and performance.

MSI has done well with their first Dual AMD Platform. Its performance in our real world testing was also excellent. Running the K7D Master as a workstation for over a week and a half helped to further its appeal. General tasks performed ranged from surfing, browsing our forums to gaming with such titles as Unreal Tournament, Serious Sam and of course NASCAR 2002. Concerns with the results of the DroneZ test were quickly overcome as the framerates and smooth performance obtained while gaming made for an enjoyable morning of fragging and an evening of online head to head racing. Other tasks the K7D Master faced were editing and writing articles, compiling review results as well as building graphs all with the use of Microsoft Office. We were even able to get into a little heavier work by editing photos, building a photo gallery of my daughter's third grade field trip using Photoshop and playing with producing avi's of races from our online 24/7 NASCAR 2002 server.

The MSI K7D Master has proven itself against a pair of Tigers and has stepped up to take its place in the world of Dual AMD Platforms. MSI has produced a solid contender in the race for performance. Whether it's running in a workstation at the office or as a home use system, the MSI K7D Master is a solid platform that will fit the needs of even the most stringent of users.
