Getting Started

Thank you for choosing the 3200 Network (MS-91A2
V1.X), an excellent server board from MSI.

Based on the innovative Intel® 3210 / 3200 & ICH9
chipsets for optimal system efficiency, the 3200 Net­work accommodates the latest Intel® Pentium 4 (Quad­Core Kentsfield/Yorkfield & Dual-Core Conroe/Wolfdale/
Celeron D) processors in LGA775 package and sup­ports up to two unbuffered non-ECC DDR2 667/800
DIMM slots to provide the maximum of 8GB memory
capacity.

In the entry-level and mid-range market segment, the
3200 Network can provide a high-performance solu­tion for today’s front-end and general purpose server,
as well as in the future.
