Pros: this board is so fast it's scary...my friend has this board and told me to get it cause it was so fast loading and shutting down and alot more, when i used to shut down, it took, at the most, almost 1 min...with this board hooked up with my other specs, it shuts down almost instantly, at the most, 3 sec.! i also love the BIOS too, tells me temp and its easy to overclock too! also has easy overclocking, i got my processor from 2.6 to 3.2 and still idle at 47-48 degrees C. all in all, this motherboard ownz!!!

Cons: my friend told me not to use the DynamicOverclocking tool, he said it was VERY unstable...i dont know cause i took his word for it, but just lettin yall know to be careful if u do...

Overall Review: when i know im in a mobo trouble, ill stick to MSI along w/ Newegg ;) got it here fast (3 days) and in tip-top shape! GO NEWEGG!! Specs: -Intel P4 2.6 Dual-Core HT @3.2 -1280mb RAM (2x 512 x 1x 256) -OKIA 600w PSU (good buy on e-b-a-y -$44!) -Sapphire Radeon 9800se to Pro

Pros: wow... this card owns...i got this on 3rd day, no lost items...my friend got this and says it runs Doom 3 at very high reso and good quality, runs COD 2 beautifully, CSS and HL2. when i get this installed, im gonna get the pipes unlocked by using the Omega drivers, cause thats what makes the difference! all in all, this card rocks!!

Cons: runs hott, im worried about it burnin up, so im gonna keep a room fan handy (cause i dont have a good case w/ any fans yet lol )

Overall Review: if u get this, the 128-bit version, and u unlock the pipes, u wont really get the TRUE performance of a 9800 pro, but if u get the 256-bit, u will... also, its kinda funny on the artifacts, they're white squares lol, not use to that, but it isnt noticable after u play w/ it for a while...
