Pros: First let me re-rate to 3.5 eggs. Dual CPU, Good chipset.Excellent platform for a average to high end workstation.SLI, 6 mem slots, free heatsinks and fans.Raid support(which I don't use currently)Tweakable BIOS.

Cons: Bad Layout, forces cables to be disruptive to cooling air flow. Cheap chipset fan, memory cooling fan almost useless. Audio in-operative out of the box. 4x PCI almost useless. Almost no tech support on website.

Overall Review: Would like to see better testing at the factory. MSI could have had a winner if a little more thought went into this board. Should have went Tyan.
