ok mobo, incompatibility issues of Realtek sound
- Pros: It is ok motherboard, it works.
- Cons: the realtek components are in general poor. It's difficult to find drivers for them.
1. The realtek soundcard has awkward interface. It is incompatible with Avid Media Composer (Avid does not see the card). There's a way around it, but due to the weird interface, you don't have ability to control that functionaity in Vista.
Adobe Premiere sees the card, but it looses audio all the times. I tried to install different audio drivers (newer, older), change the audio settings, etc. The errors remained.
Since removing the motherboard is a pain, I'll go ahead and buy an additional audio card.
2. The realtek nic was hard to find drivers over the net.
3. When I tried to install 4 PCI cards, it won't boot. They couldn't initialize. One reason is that the Geforce onboard takes a lot of memory and there's not much left for the other PCI cards to initialize.
4. The mobo locks the SATA HDDs so I could use those for plugging multiple HDDs for my low-level needs.
- Other Thoughts: I couldn't use this mobo for my needs and had to spend additional money on other components (after spending money on additional cables).
Does the job!
- Pros: Pretty much your standard MB...no complaints! Bios makes OC'ing a breeze in addition to the physical motherboard mounted OC switch panel. The switch panel alone made Oc'ing easy enough...I only used the bios to set RAM timings and voltages in addition to adjusting FSB and cpu multiplier.
- Cons: Need to replace parrallel port and serial port with USB
WOW
- Pros: Great board, good layout, low cost.
- Cons: None.
- Other Thoughts: I've build a few systems for friends including some done with msi p965 (wife), p35 (me), p45 (3 friends) mobo and now this p43 (new built)...all works good and they are great for the price.
