    Here's a couple of reviews for MSI's nForce4 SLI X16-based motherboards.

    From Anandtech's:

    The MSI K8N Diamond Plus is a well rounded platform that offers a high degree of performance and stability. We have to give MSI credit for taking the NVIDIA nForce4 SLI X16 chipset and improving upon the feature set and ,in most cases, performance relative to other boards in the general enthusiast market. MSI wisely chose their peripheral options with a unique audio solution from Creative Labs, class leading IEEE 1394A performance from VIA, and one of the best PCI-E based Gigabit Ethernet controllers from Marvel.

    From [H]ard|OCP:

    Though this motherboard doesn't overclock quite as well as the A8N32-SLI Deluxe I tested awhile back, the layout is nicer and it was just as stable as the ASUS during testing. The K8N Diamond Plus was also a feature rich solution that should please just about anyone. In short, this board should be on your short list of boards to consider if you are in the market for an NVIDA SLI compatible motherboard.

    It doesn't seem to be the highest overclocker and has issues with the current shipping BIOS according to both reviews, but with a beta BIOS installed, the board seemed to really take off and do quite well.
