Pros: supports IDEs so if you have older hard drives and disk drives you could still use them on this SLI supported motherboard.

Cons: First one was DOA. I sent it back to MSI and they sent me another motherboard which was the WRONG model and even that motherboard was still dead and would not even post. Contacted MSI customer support and they said sorry about the mistake and they would send me a new board. MONTHS later, I have still not received anything from them and they have stopped responding my emails. I requested to talk to the customer support manager and he would not even bother responding to emails. MSI customer support is disaster. Do not buy any products from them because if you have any problems, good luck with them. extremely disappointing experience.
