Advantages: Value for money, competent integrated hardware (especially the sound) Disadvantages: Geforce2 MX a little dated for todays games
/USB connectivity for connecting peripherals, and the integrated SoundStorm audio hardware is astounding. You can no doubt pick these up very cheap, so If you are looking for a stable student/family PC platform on a budget with good speed, excellent surround-sound audio playback in DVD's/games, and you play the odd game -then you cannot go wrong with this motherboard.
Heartily recommended!

NB. To ensure compatibility with the latest hardware, I recommend updating the BIOS for your motherboard. This is explained on the MSI support section. However, thisis a potentially risky procedure so I suggest you only do it if you get any compatibilty problems. In addition, DO NOT BUY A RADEON 9700Pro. It is not fully compatible with this board ...
Advantages: Fast, cheap, stable, excellent support and v good manual Disadvantages: Requires a minimum of Win ME upwards
Ive been using the MSi 845E max (6566e) motherboard for the past 2 years and it still performs as stable now as it did back then.
The board itself is very well packaged and comes with all the usual extras including drivers CD and IDE cables for both CD-roms/hard drives and floppy disc aswell as an excellently informative and well laid out manual.
The 845E Max by MSi supports all Pentium 4 processors as well as Celerons upto 3.06 ghz using the built in 845E Intel chipset and includes full support for both 133mhz front side bus (FSB) quad pumped (133 x 4 = 533 fsb) Pentium 4's and 184 pin PC 2100 (266mhz) DDR memory upto 2 ghz, there are 2 available memory slots which is plenty for most people and i whole heartedly recommend firstly adding 1 x 512mb of DDR to the motherboard so as to leave 1 free DDR slot if you ever chose to add ...
Advantages: cheapest i could find with UK online retailer Disadvantages: open box item
REVIEW FOR ASUS M4A78 PRO purchased from LUCMOS.CO.UK
PROS: Built in video (VGA, HDMI, DVI), fiber optic out, RAID 0,1,5,10, JBOD; capable of locating and flashing bios under windows; 6 SATA slots, potential of 12 USB; 3 PCI slots handy to recycle various cards from old computer (ie old TV card)
CONS: Bios only partially recognizes my Microsoft wireless photo keyboard set (mouse, not keyboard); Utilizing the optical out blocks one USB out (TOO CLOSE TOGETHER), No Firewire inputs on board (yet STILL with COM1 and floppy inputs?!)
Other Thoughts: This was an open box item for 65 quid all in which Lucmpos indicates will not ship with the full complement of stuff, but I was expecting the I/O backing to at least cover up the back of my tower for this system of outputs...Alas, no. This baby shipped with just the board and non else ...

Manufacturer's product description
In order to maximize the performance and provide a stable power supply, MSI X58 Pro is equipped with the 2nd generation true 5-phase DrMOS power design and APS (Active Phase Switching) technology, which is the only OS independent power saver on the market. Recently Tom’s Hardware proved (in its P45 efficiency test) that unlike other solutions, both MSI DrMOS and MSI APS really help to save power. MSI X58 Pro is equipped with three dual-slot PCI Express x16 graphics slots; offering the possibility of multi-graphics operations, such as ATI 3-way CrossFireX and Nvidia 3-way SLI, enhancing the 3D frame rate to a higher level. For efficient cooling, the heatpipe of MSI X58 Pro comes with a split thermal system. This system prevents the chipset to transfer heat to the PWM. Because of its unique power efficiency, MSI DrMOS keeps the PWM cool by itself. This helps the overclocker to achieve higher OC results during benchmarks. Other hardware-based overclocking features on MSI X58 Pro are easy OC switch and easy button. By entering the BIOS, overclockers can also make use of Memory-Z, advanced CPU Specifications and the MSI unique M-Flash, which helps to boot a 2nd BIOS from a USB stick. The MSI X58 Pro comes with an onboard eSATA interface, adopting the concept of plug & play storage. Unlike other eSATA bracket solutions, MSI X58 Pro is designed with onboard eSATA on rear I/O which provides a direct link to an extra storage chip and Intel chipset. So no extra cable or brackets are needed, which results in a better signal and higher transfer speed. Other convenient features on MSI X58 Pro are the M-connectors, FireWire and the easy button for a quick reset of the mainboard.
