MSI contradicts your review

http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.html?i=1759&am...

You say:

"12/04/02 UPDATE: MSI sends word that the K7N2-L indeed does not have a PCI bus lock at 33MHz."

To this day, that was used as ultimate proof that the original MSI nForce2 mobo does not have a PCI lock.

Today MSI Senior Moderators said:
"they are wrong,and who ever told them it did not from msi"

(!)

Won't you please settle this for us.
