Amazing
- Pros: This motherboard is amazing. You can have dual monitors without another video card, vga and dvi, or use an adapter. 128MB Onboard video leaves me no need for a video card for a while. Has PCI-E slot for video later which is faster than AGP. Four memory slots is great, especially the dual channel running Kingston HyperX.
- Cons: none really, it just has a very cheap i/o metal panel, but thats the case with almost every motherboard.
- Other Thoughts: I have no regrets with this board.
Excellent HTPC Board
- Pros: Micro ATX with a ton of features, passive cooling for low noise, overclocks well for a HTPC-oriented board. Works perfect w/Suse Linux 10.1.
- Cons: BIOS wouldn't flash from Windows from MSI's Live Update software, for some reason, annoying. Need more options for advanced overclocking.
- Other Thoughts: Runs my A64 X2 3800+ at 2480mhz stably. Weird Nforce 4 "glitch" makes the onboard NIC stop working in Linux unless you unplug the machine and plug it back in after booting to windows, but this happens on my other NF4 boards too... Weird.
Works great
- Pros: Fully integrated solution, DVI and TV out, 7.1 and digital sound out, best of all it works great. Highly customizable bios for tweakers too. Nice price for what you get.
- Cons: None after a few weeks of use.
- Other Thoughts: Very stable mobo, everything worked great on the first try. No problems at all. Bios suitable for overclocking if that's your thing. Using mine in an HTPC with A64-3700 and 1 gig micron ballistix memory.
