MSi 845E Max (6566e) Pentium 4 motherboard

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...

*MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum Explained In Detail*

Advantages: Looks great, excellent features, very stable
Disadvantages: Slightly expensive, no other disadvantages

...The Socket 939 Athlon 64 processor is a fairly new technology, and has been available for about six months now. Many people are reluctant to upgrade, either because they have a good enough system already, or they cannot afford the jump to 939 pin technology. The MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum is a motherboard which supports 939 pin Athlon processors. I bought it about 2 months ago for £90, and you can get it now for about £80. The following review will explain every detail of this motherboard, to make it more understandable by you. There will also be a brief explanation of what '939 pin' is. [FEATURES] The K8N is full of features, and I will try my best to explain them in detail for you.

MSI K7n420Pro nForce Motherboard

Advantages: Value for money, competent integrated hardware (especially the sound)
Disadvantages: Geforce2 MX a little dated for todays games

...I was building a PC on a budget over a year ago, and was looking for a solution that offered a good price/performance ratio. It was then that I stumbled across a new concept in motherboards - nVidias nForce chipset. >Overview< --------------- This MSI motherboard utilises nVidia's nForce chipset. nVidias nForce (now superceded by the nForce2 and 3) was and is a milestone in motherboard technology. Never before had so many competent technologies been bundled into one board. The chipset main features are: Support for Duron/Athlon/XP processors with an FSB of 100/133mhz ...and thus 200/266mhz DDR RAM memory in DUAL CHANNEL mode. Integrated nVidia Geforce2MX-class 'crush' graphics Integrated nVidia SoundStorm Dolby Digital 5.1 sound Onboard Networking As far as CPU support goes, I think this goes up to the Athlon XP...

MSI do it again

Advantages: Dual Channel Memory, In built Sound and LAN
Disadvantages: First 2 boards I had faulty.

...I have used MSI motherboards and graphics cards in the past and this board slightly disapointed me, the first two of these I had were faulty (one wouldn't work and one went VERY slow if anything was connected on the same IDE cable as the primary master hard drive). Anyway, when I finally got a properly working motherboard I was amazed as to how much better it was than my old motherboard (which I hapened to melt after the heatsink was not properly held onto the processor), the dual channel memory really speeds up video compression and image editing and the USB 2.0 interface makes a flash drive much more useful. This motherboard is a cut down version of a high end motherboard and so does not feature all the latest techology, such as raid or firewire. This motherboard has onboard sound and lan(local area nework) ports, which negate...

MSI K9VGM-V AM2 Motherboard Review from a Retailer

Advantages: Reliable, Good Online Support/Updates, Affordable, Good Layout
Disadvantages: Only two SATA controllers, Sound & Graphics could be better

...We have stocked this MSI K9VGM-V motherboard for over 3 months now. And, to its credit, considering it's more of a budget board, we haven't had one failure with them. Considering the number we sell, that is very good! Good Points: Reliable Motherboard, Nicely laid out for keeping the inside of the PC clear of trailing cables, Cheap to buy, Simple BIOS & MSI offer what is called a 'Live Update' for its motherboards which works much better than some other manufacturers. Bad Point: Only two SATA controllers onboard, Onboard Sound & Graphics not quite as good as those offered by its competitors in the same catergory. All in all we'd say that this board is great for system builders who are putting together a home/budget type package but is probably unsuitable for the more adventurous computer user....

My Dream Machine Motherboard

Advantages: Supports.... Everything!
Disadvantages: As with all boards, difficult to set up!

...Welcome to the fourth installment of my computer component reviews! My motherboard is the 865PE Neo2 - P. I'm assuming that this is the same, it certainly looks the same. MSI is a highly respected motherboard manufactorer and have incorporated the intel 865PE chipset into this fantastic motherboard. Thanks to Rabid's suggestion, I went to the MSI section of overclockers. There I found the one he suggested, below it was this baby. For just £10 more I could have dual DDR RAM, as well as a few other minor enhancements. This board has all the standard features, like AGP 8x, ATA 133 support and 5 PCI ports. It's also got 4 ram slots (with dual DDR ram support and supporting up to 500Mhz RAM on overclock speeds). It supports all pentium 4 chips including the new Extreme and Prescott processors. For those who don't understand that...

MSI 5600 Ultra

Advantages: MyVIVO Features and Good Graphics
Disadvantages: Price

...Well as video cards go this is no more impressive than any of todays cards but in its time (autumn 2003) it was a state of the art card, and although ATi still beat nvidia on performance per pound it was still a fantastic card. The thing that attracted me most to it was the pure performance of it, but it also had VIVO functions for me to do some video editing with and MSI was and still is one of the few manufacturers that provide a decent package (i.e. all the cables, more software that you knew what to do with (full games, demo games, full software and all the cables) and quick and full manuals). It was one of the easiest cards to install, just slot it into the AGP slot. Next attact the extra power cable (NOTE: on any card that requires extra power, never use the same power cable that is plugged into the HDD as the hard drive...
