MSI Also Unveils X99S Gaming 9 ACK Motherboard
MSI updated its flagship Gaming series socket LGA2011V3 motherboard portfolio with an upgraded variant of the X99S Gaming 9 AC, the X99S Gaming 9 ACK. The "K" in the "ACK" stands for "Killer," denoting the board's Killer DoubleShot Pro feature, which lets you team up your wired gigabit Ethernet, with WLAN, to produce a staggering 1.866 Gbps of bandwidth, at low latency. In other words, the board features a Qualcomm Killer WLAN controller, instead of the Intel-made one on the standard X99S Gaming 9 AC. The wired gigabit Ethernet interface is care of a Killer E2205 controller, whereas the WLAN interface is handled by a Killer 1525 chip, which supports 802.11 ac, in addition to Bluetooth 4.0. The rest of this board's feature-set is identical to that of the X99S Gaming 9 AC. MSI will formally announce the board later this month.

Do us all a favor and fire your designers.

Companies don't cater to groups that won't buy there products at a price point they are willing to sell. So these companies clearly think its worth investing in the "Gaming" L33T $#!t "all your head shots belong to us", where's teh demo crowd,...
Well MSI, this is quite odd to wait before releasing something with this extra feature set. Not releasing this at launch probably won't give it extreme sales in the end because most of the initial hype is gone. But its sales are going to depend on how much more it is than the standard Gaming 9 AC because that board was already up there on price and this one is sure to be more but by how much we will have to wait and see.Because this belowZOMG, it has gaming in the name therefor it is twice as awesome. That is the law!!!
