I've got an MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI motherboard at home - bought it 13 months ago. Running Suse 10.0. Everything works okay except the sound in Quake4 - since it is also dual boot I haven't spent any time trying to figure out why. It does take a rather long time to boot up but I don't know if that's the motherboard or just Suse 10.0. (My primary machine is a laptop running Suse 9.3). I can also echo the sentiments of the Tyan server boards - we've got 16 dual Opteron nodes and only 1 node has locked up in the last 9 months. Of course these are server boards and don't have the same chipset as the desktop boards. Indeed Tyan only makes 1 939 board and it's listed as "new". Joe Jonathan Brooks wrote:
I Xposted on suse-linux-e, and consensus seemed to place Tyan somewhere near the top, and Asus rock bottom. That's a shame about Asus since they are nice boards to work with :( Anyone else got a view on this?
I'm particularly interested people's experience here, since it's an AMD64 machine that I'm trying to build.

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 ?????????
Cheers, Jon.
