Excellent choice !

Strengths: Top board- great price vs "platinum". Stable, Sturdy and easy to ply with. 7 ch on board sound.

Weakness: Echoing the fact that MSI seems to have forgot they made this board... Thin on PCI slots/options. SATA set up painful.

This board is excellent coming in at a cost of a little over a 100.00 from ZZF. Versus the platinum cost, that's a nice savings.I just love this board. Major reason I went with was my previous good exp with MSI boards as well as the the onboard Creative 7.1. Most pleased by that. Getting the SATA controls set and working was a bit of a booger, but doable. I'm running a slight OC issue free as...

Awesome Motherboard

Strengths: Good price, SLI mode, cheaper then Platinum edition, X2 Dual-core ready, built-in creative soundblaster live chipset.

Weakness: None.

I've usually stuck with Asus, but following my friend's suggestions to try MSI for my next pc build, I can say I am very pleased. Excellent build-quality, easy layout, and the most feature rich motherboard I have ever seen. As always, pricegrabber let me find the cheapest price, and all I can say is thank you.

Very good mobo

Strengths: Integrated Creative Sound Blaster Live! 24Bit HD Ready 7.1 channel. Easy setup, good overclocker Cheap compared with others

Weakness: There's no official info about this model on the entire MSI site

I don't have any issue at all, the sound of the integrated Creative 24bits is amazing, but I would like to find on the support area of MSI, info, driver updates and new bios, this model simply does not exist Weird.... =S

MSI K8N Neo4 SLI Motherboard

Strengths: Good HSF retaining frame, Creative Labs Sound

Weakness: SOFTWARE RAID! Will NOT work with existing RAID arrays! BEWARE.

Did you want to keep that RAID 1 array that you had that was keeping your data protected? Oops, too bad. Nvidia (not MSI, no hating now) chose NOT to enable support for existing arrays in their RAID chipset, so unless you want to make a brand-new RAID set you are SOL. Plus, since this is a software-supported RAID and not fully hardware-based, the nex time Windows crashes, it could take your...
