I purchased a couple of these boards to build a cheap High Availability Linux Cluster without breaking the bank and to reliably run my Web, Mail, MySQL, SVN and other server applications in 24x7 operation mode. The set of requirements was to find a general purpose motherboard which will sustain a high I/O throughput with good reliable componentry, and with minimum to none set of unnecessary features like EEE1394 / FireWire, Optical SPDIF outs, IEEE1394 ports and so on. MSI K9A2 CF-F V2 has perfectly met these requirements. The only two wasted features were sound capability of ALC888 chipset and CrossFire capability of 790X main board chipset. from Amazon.com well this is a excellent MOBO, you can use the lastest AMD CPU Phenom AM2+, the only cons, is that you need to buy a graphic card because don't have internal graphics. from Amazon.com Used the board to build a DVR/Video server with Windows 7 Beta 1 (yep a little ahead of the curve), using Windows Media Center. 4 gig ram, Phenom Triple Core processor, Nvidia PCIe x16 video card, Hauppage PCIe x1 ATSC tuner card, pair of 500gig sata drives. So far rock stable with default drivers included with Windows 7, very fast easily handles any media center chores I've thrown at it. from Amazon.com What is not to like in this? 1. 2 PCIE x16 slots (but comes down to x8 - but supports crossfire for 2 video cards anyway). 2. from Amazon.com Exellent motherboard, overclock capacity is very well, i'm overclock my x2 3800 to 2.7GHZ(2GHZ stock) with ocz ddr800, crossfireX and other featuring. from Amazon.com I'm not going to brag about how your "beloved" MS OS or whatever game flies or rather gloriously smokes on this board.

MSI K9A2 CF-F V2 has perfectly met these requirements. from Amazon.com Esta tarjeta es excelente, lo unico es que no trae video integrado y hay que comprarle una tarjeta de video a juro para ponerla a funcionar, pero eso es lo de menos. Puedes tener 2 tarjets de video a la vez y OC para sumarlas y el rendimiento es excelente. from Amazon.com Exellent motherboard, overclock capacity is very well, i'm overclock my x2 3800 to 2.7GHZ(2GHZ stock) with ocz ddr800, crossfireX and other featuring. from Amazon.com I would buy this board again worked perfect. The only thing to watch out for is the SLI bridge does not come with the motherboard and SLI slots are pretty far apart. My SLI bridge that came with my other MSI board was too short. from Amazon.com Used the board to build a DVR/Video server with Windows 7 Beta 1 (yep a little ahead of the curve), using Windows Media Center. 4 gig ram, Phenom Triple Core processor, Nvidia PCIe x16 video card, Hauppage PCIe x1 ATSC tuner card, pair of 500gig sata drives.
