My Mobo's have always been ASUS Abit. Never had much experience with MSI.

lol. I know a guy at a local computer store and this is what he recommended to me.. he actually saved me a TON of heartache because I was going to get a radeon 9800 all-in-wonder for $250 but he found that pci-express mobo + x800 for $50 less than what I was going to pay. Also he gave me $35 off a computer case.

Cool deal. Should be in the mail today >=D 3DMark here I come!!

Oh and as a note: I didn't order it from him, he said even w/ his store discount he couldn't get that stuff for that cheap.

To anyone purchasing a computer, I highly recommend www.zipzoomfly.com. Free shipping on damn near EVERYTHING (2nd day air), prices comparable to newegg.com (who charges you to ship as far as I know of), and excelent customer support. 2 thumbs up.
