Most Favorable Review

Fast Mobo for the price!

MSI P67A-C43 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel P67 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
MSI P67A-C43 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel P67 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: FAST!!! I installed a i5-2500K and 8 GB DDR3 1600 RAM on this mobo and its a beast! Booted right up and installed windows without any issues. Noticeably better quality than other boards. Lots of USB ports!!! A 3.0 to 2.0 convertor for front USB Panels.

Cons: 1 PCI-Express 16 slot Only comes with 2 SATA cables and has 6 sata ports?

Overall Review: This board works great with a i5, and cant beat the price!

Most Critical Review

Ugly.. Ugly. Ugly..

Microsoft Windows 8 64-bit (Full Version)
Microsoft Windows 8 64-bit (Full Version)

Pros: Stable and fast OS, just like Windows 7. Has some cool "under the hood" features.

Cons: Metro is awful, it is a real pain on a PC with 2 monitors.. One screen is metro, one is desktop. Some apps open in metro, some in desktop.. Not to mention the windows app store is awful, it is full of junk apps. You can't even get a true facebook app...

Overall Review: 8.1 is really a slap in the face, they added the "windows button" but it just takes you to metro h***! They really need to separate the desktop and tablet OS. I lasted about 2 months with Win 8 and could not take it anymore, I UPGRADED to windows 7 pro.. If they don't change this in the next year or so when my pc needs to be replaced, I will go with a mac.

Great Card!
