Used but in very good condition, November 16, 2008

ChacoThe item description says that it is just a open box item, but I saw that it was a used item (probably for a very short time) in a very good condition, I have no complains about the service or delivery
I Bought one, it didn`t work too 2008, June 30, 2008

Alexis Enrique Fornica SanchezSorry for my short English if you see some mistake. I`m writting from venezuela. The sellers of this Motherboard was ok, but the product itself was a very big mistake. When the mother board came here, some friends saw it... and they told me: "This motherboard presents a lot of problems with the chipset and with USB ports". I just wanted it works, and didn`t want to have more problems with my computer. I cant`t return this item now, by the politics of importation in my country. Never worked well. I just bought a Gygabyte, waiting for it in one month at least.
Don`t buy it. Buy Asus or gigabyte if you have amd proccesors. They (msi people) must to know that this motherboard have problems, if all my friends know it, and they do not design nor produce it. The price reflects that fact. This motherboard is not cheaper just for the size, or perform. Is cheaper because it has a lot of problems.
DOn`t Buy it.
good enough for me!, May 22, 2008

this motherboard is the best it could possible be for $[...]. the only reason i got this board was because of a lack of money to build a computer with. i am very happy with it. my computer is finshed now and it has an AMD Athalon 64 proceesor 960mb 2.2 GHz 960mb RAM(soon to upgrade) 320 gb hdd 2 cd drives a floppy drive and an antec 500 blaxk mini case. i am not really a gamer, but this was prefect for a firsttime costom pc. i recommend this to anyone who is learning to put a pc together

Let me start off by saying this mobo really takes a lot of time to get just right in the Bios, and especially running windows vista, it reads the memory incorrectly so you must do it manually, as well as set the right voltage, i had problems with the BSOD a lot of times till i got it all just right. After everything was working great i tried to over clock, a bit.
the mobo wouldnt OC to 202, everytime it would have a bsod on startup of windows, then the 2nd reboot would work fine, but if i left it at 200 all is well. doesnt really matter with this processor, it is very fast, i have been an intel guy forever, this was my first AMD setup, and i am a believer, this combo really is a great setup, i play high end games on med/high setting COD4, Crysis, FEAR, Prey. ect. They all run great, and i also use the computer as a media center with a second HDTV as the display.
all in all great price, and awesome potential.

I was hoping to put together a computer as a christmas present for a friend but BOTH motherboards i got where broken, wouldn't power up at all forcing me to return all the parts I got on amazon because they're useless to me and it will probably cause controversy. Hopefully i get my $155 back without any problems.
