AVAILABILITY: ------------------- This item should be in the £40-£50 price range. It is I would consider a higher mid range board. Specs: --------- ATX This is an ATX sized motherboard. It will fit in midi or full sized tower cases. It will not fit in mini ATX cases. Processor = SOCKET AM2 This is a Socket ...
...no good for vista, but MSI is one of the best companies for getting vista drivers out nice and quickly for vista ready boards. Take a look at some of my other soon to come motherboard reviews to see how uncommon this is especially for sound drivers, seeing as most boards use the same drivers it would be nice for mobo makers to put details of the sound drivers for vista on their sites.. Chipset drivers can be found on the Nvidia website. Overall: ...

Review of MSI K9N Neo-F - motherboard - ATX - nForce 550

Great Board

Advantages: Effective
Disadvantages: PCI-E Slot Positions

This is am amazing motherboard. It supports the older AM2 series and AMDs new Tri/Quad cores, the Phenom series. The RAM dual-channels right next to each other and its got a nice 8 channel HD sound. I'm going to skip to the downsides, then finish the upsides. The top-most PCI-E slot won't let you seat a large card like my 4850, the heat pipes are in the way. The other thing is that it doesn't have dual LAN, would of been nice but you get what you ...
...exactly suited for large video cards, the middle two cut off some of the SATA ports. Other then those negatives, the rest of the board is awesome. It overclocks very, very good and just as a side note some of the options require you to press + or minus instead of hitting enter. ...

ASUS M4A78 PRO motherboard

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 ...
...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... The wireless keyboard error is just weird. It allows you use the keyboard to hit delete to get into the CMOS, but after reboot ...
