Great mobo. Easy to install. MSI gives you the drivers on floppy so you can create a RAID when installing your OS. very limited accessories included as compared to other manufacturers, but i will gladly take this over my previos Asus A8n-Sli deluxe mobo which was ridden with tons of problems!
Overclockers beware....! The DDR voltage can only be adjusted to 2.85V max.

This is a great motherboard. I just built my new cpu 2 weeks ago and I love this thing. Easy to upgrade with MSI support being A+. I got a new AMD X2 processor and wanted to make sure things would work smoothly and boy how easy it was to upgrade BIOS and make everything work. Onboard SB Live is great too, that way I don't have to fool around with getting another Audigy. Anyways, I think this is a great value. If you plan on getting a good looking motherboard with great funcionality and awesome support and quality, this is your best bet!

PCI
Express - Delivering Dramatically Improved Graphics
Doubling the bandwidth of the AGP 8X graphics bus, the new PCI Express represents
the most profound change to desktop architecture in nearly a decade. PCI
Express replaces AGP, allowing much larger amounts of data to move between
the graphics card and the CPU, and will soon replace PCI expansion slots
as well. The PCI standard allows for a 32-bit bus with a maximum throughput
of 133MB/s. By contrast, PCI Express will run at 2.5GHz. PCI Express is
a two-way serial connection that carries data in packets along two pairs
of point-to-point data lines, compared to the single parallel data bus of
traditional PCI. Gamers will benefit from an incredible upgrade in video
quality with PCI Express, because it will allow for more powerful video
cards, inspiring developers to create more realistic environments that will
make games come alive with astonishingly lifelike colors and images. Video
enthusiasts will also benefit because PCI Express will accommodate higher-quality
video throughput (amount of data you can send per second). As network television
moves over to HDTV broadcasts, PCI Express positions the PC platform for
integration into the living room, while also allowing for HD video editing
and other bandwidth-intensive tasks. PCI Express is compatible with existing
PCI drivers and software operating systems and is designed to co-exist with
current PCI hardware.
