Pros: I've nothing but problems with this board since the day I took it outta the box!I've had various driver issues, a Windows crash within the first week of a clean install, now the onboard sound chip has failed. What a piece of junk. I used to like MSI, but it's back to Biostar and Gigabyte for me... Cons: Drivers, dead sound chip, crashes, etc., etc., etc. from Newegg.com Other Thoughts: Really not sure where to begin. Did not buy this board from Newegg, but felt compelled to write a review. First time user of an MSI product. Built a budget system with 32-bit XP Home, Amd 4400+ (2.3 ghz), 160 GB WD drive, 4 GB mushkin ram and a 1 sata optical drive. from Newegg.com Pros: Price was excellent! Cons: I bought this board because I have a MicroATX case and needed a PCI-E slot for my Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS which takes up the space of two slots and the length brings it right over the two SATA jacks on the motherboard. I had to plug the SATA cables in first and then when I clicked in the video card the height was too low and it bent the SATA jacks at nearly a 45 degree angle. from Newegg.com Pros: CHeapo Cons: I got this board because I had an old AMD Athlon 64 chip, which SHOULD fit. Even the box says, "Designed for AMD Phenom/Athlon/Sempron Processors"MSI normally makes pretty solid boards, I am VERY disappointed that the advertised compatibility of the board is, in fact, not present. from Newegg.com Pros: None Cons: I order the first one due to price and have used MSI before without any problems. This time I got to bad boards back to back. from Newegg.com Very happy for the most part. Cons: Bought a 4890 and that card covers the only 2 sata slots so you cannot use them at all. Can't crossfire but its only a Matx board. Other Thoughts: Very happy with the MSI Live update for bios updates. from Newegg.com Pros: MSI did it again. My second time ordering this motherboard and what can I say, quiet and amazing!!! from Newegg.com Pros: Inexpensive. Cons: nForce chipset drivers that came with this board (which are latest rev from MSI) are very unstable. Clean XP SP3 install with just nForce Ethernet and chipset drivers caused lock ups. from Newegg.com Pros: Cheap, fast, works with my Phenom 9500 and Ati HD 4670. Cons: The IDE port is really awkward to use, but that's not much of a worry unless you have an IDE drive, also, PCI express 1.0 and only 2 sata ports. Other Thoughts: Great board overall, I will buy from MSI from now on. It replaced an ASUS board which died. from Newegg.com Pros: Not sure, nothing worked Cons: NOTHING WORKED! Other Thoughts: This board came in dead, and MSI Tech support blamed my CPU. Said "compatibility" and wouldn't go further. from Newegg.com
