*Please check the manufacturers website for specific CPU support*
MSI's latest K9A2 Platinum utilizes the latest AMD 790FX chipset, supporting the new generation Socket AM2+ with dual channel DDR2 800/1066. In addition to being the most future-proof platform currently available, the K9A2 Platinum is ready to fully support features such as the new Quad Core Phenom processors which comes with HyperTransport 3.0, a great improvement in the internal bandwidth, MSI unique technology Dual CoreCell™ with software control Dual CoreCenter, Quad VGA CrossFire, HD 7.1 channel Sound and new Circu-Pipe solution.
The Quad Core CPU support will bring more benefits to multimedia and multitasking by enhancing the performance and reducing the waiting time for any kind of applications. It provides extremely high definition audio/video stream editing and offers higher performance on 3D gaming and professional graphic rendering.
AMD will soon launch their triple card CrossFire soon in coming season, but now MSI design quad PCI-E VGA slot for more then this new technology, we are ready on Quad CrossFire with PCI-E Gen2 bandwidth once AMD is ready on multi VGA side. That will bring higher 3D gaming resolutions with more detail DX10 effects. What's more, it also enhances the 3D frame rate to a higher level for more smooth gaming experience.
From MSI P35 Platinum and Diamond series, MSI has designed a special heat-pipe solution with circle shape and bigger sink surface called Circu-Pipe. The special design can enhance the heat dissipation performance and reduce the heat 20% faster than the others. MSI will keep that concept and will continue to improve the pipe performance all the time.
The 5 phase PWM design with high efficiency is now on K9A2 Platinum, up to 95% power transfer efficiency, support extreme overclock ability on Phenom Quad Core FX series CPU in the future.
Both Circu-Pipe and 5 phase PWM design are design for green mainboard concept to reduce heat faster and save more power consumption. Moreover, it can also save cost for long term use and save the planet earth from pollution and resource waste!

Great Mobo by DinosaurJnr
Had this board for 5 months now. For the price (i got mine cheaper last year) it has more than enough ports to satisfy most users. Works great with an overclocked 5600 X2, no stability problems what so ever. Linked with a 4850 it makes a good gaming rig. Plenty of overclocking options in the bios for those that want a little more bang for their bucks. Plus it has the bonus of 4 PCIE slots! Just make sure you have a huge PSU if your going to use them all!

Hi
Is a Nvidia 8800 gtx compatible with this motherboard?

You should be fine, but if you're looking at going SLI then you're looking at the wrong board.
