Full review
Though I have just run a new PC-shop, I am still using my old Personal Computer to run my business which is built with an MSI K7N2 Delta2 motherboard. This socket-A (socket-462) motherboard is quite durable as I have been using it for about 2 years!

I am using an AMD Athlon XP Processor, an 80GB Seagate ATA Harddrive (it also supports SATA), a 256MB memory, and Nvidia GeForce2 MX400 as my display adapter to build my PC. Microsoft Windows XP (Professional Edition) is my operating system.

K7N2 Delta2 comes with an integrated audio chip (5.1 channel H/W audio) and an onboard 10/100 ethernet. Personally, these onboard features are good enough for me to hear music and to connect to my local area network.


The Package

This Nvidia nForce 2 Ultra 400 / IGP chipset based motherboard comes with a comprehensive user manual, an MSI Driver / Utility CD, a SATA cable, a power cable, a back-IO shield (for PC-case), a floppy disk cable and an ATA cable.

If you have installed Microsoft Windows XP as your operating system, the drivers are easy to install. Just put in the CD into your CD drive, and it runs itself. Then you could follow its installation instructions step by step.
In other words, you do not have to have special knowledge on your system. It is really easy as the drivers are compatible with the operating system!


The Price

In our PC-market (Jakarta, Indonesia) it is about £38. This price might sound expensive; however, the law of demand and supply always works. The scarcity of socket-A motherboard in PC markets makes the price quite high.


Whom or why do I recommend this motherboard?

Though most motherboard manufacturers might have stopped producing this kind of motherboard, sometimes we need it, especially when your current motherboard which comes with a Socket-A Processor is broken down. For economical reason, it is advisable for you still using your old peripherals by just purchasing / changing the broken motherboard with the same type.

Before writing this opinion, I have taken a look at e-Bay.co.uk and I see it is still available.

How much could you save your money if it happens and you'd take my advice?

Overall, I'd recommend this type of motherboard because personally I have been using this motherboard for about 2 years and it still works well as expected.
