Excellent features in a tiny package
- Pros: Onboard Gigabit LAN, nForce 4 Chipset, Dual Channel RAM, MSI Quality/Support, Access to MSI Live Update & PC Alert utilities, Nice onboard HD sound
- Cons: Poor placement of SATA ports, especially when a PCIe video card is installed.
- Other Thoughts: I'm a big fan of MSI, as of late. I suppose I've had fairly good luck, but I have also RMA'd two bad boards with them (one recently) and they are great to work with. This is likely the last upgrade for my SFF custom mod case. And, finally, dual channel RAM on a board that is no deeper than 8.2" and SATA II, to boot! For the SATA ports issue mentioned in the cons, I used a 90 degree SATA cable and it did the trick. Last note: With this board, I used an Athlon 64 3500+ CPU, 2GB of Corsair XMS2 DDR2 675 RAM, a WD2500KS SATA2 Hard drive & an XFX 7900GT with excellent results.
MSI K9N6PGM Motherboard
- Pros: Works like a champ, installation went very smoothly, system seems to run very fast with AMD 4200 mhz AM2 processor, On-Board video graphics card will run all of my games, such as BF2, BF2142 command and conquer, very high graphics demanding card.
Would recommend and buy again. Website via Live Update 3, does a good job updating bios and drivers
- Cons: Not many extra items such as 3 pin headers for extra fans, only one eide controller, limited amount of usb port, if you are looking for the extra items on a board then this one may not be for you
- Other Thoughts: Basic board this MB is great

BIG video cards block the SATA ports!!
- Pros: Nice board, well constructed and for the most part well laid out... with some exceptions noted below. MicroATX will always keep things a bit tight, though.
- Cons: My new double wide nVidia card's fan blocks the SATA ports and almost blocks the front panel USB and other ports!!!! Gonna try to get right angle SATA cables and see if this can be alleviated, but it is POOR design to have these cable ports under the PCI slot next to the PCIx16 slot. Research how all your pieces will go together. Also research carefully your processor choice. DOES NOT SUPPORT newest 6000+ or 6400+ X2 processors, running at 125 degrees. I had to ship back one and downgrade. Go to manufacturer web page and do your homework.
- Other Thoughts: For the price difference, go ahead and go for the one with four SATAs and onboard 1394 Firewire... I feel like I shoulda. May still, who knows. SATA blockage is a major pain, and frustrated me greatly. Otherwise a five egger, but the major pain problem lost 'em a couple.
No problem of any kind
- Pros: Did not encounter any problem. Good bargain.
- Cons: None at this price.
- Other Thoughts: Using with a AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+(65W) Windsor 2.4GHz, 2 seagate 400GB SATA, 1 Maxtor 320 gb ATA etc.
Great NO DOA
- Pros: Love it. Installed fine and started up right away.
- Cons: horrible startup screen. haha i'm picky
- Other Thoughts: my system...
