Hello, my wife uses an MSI K8N Neo2 (amd64), I sit in front of an MSI K8T Master2 FAR (opteron) and in the cellar the MSI K8T Master1 FAR (opteron) is peacefully doing its job as a server. The opteron machines run linux and windows. My wife is an exchange admin and therefore uses windows only. All machines work fine. In the past, I had several times minor issues with ASUS boards: a floppy controller died (confirmed by a local ASUS reseller), the onboard sound died. I started years ago with ASUS boards but nowadays I would avoid them. If I would rebuilt an opteron workstation today I would go for Tyan. If it is "just" a PC, I think MSI is not a bad choice. regards, einar Jonathan Brooks wrote:
Hi,
I wonder if anyone has any experience with MSI motherboards? In particular, the MSI K8N SLI-FI for AMD64 chips (nforce4, socket 939).
What pecking order do you put for motherboard manufacturers?
Asus Abit Gigabyte Epox MSI ECS Foxconn ?????????
