well... they say here that the board has many features but I won't buy it myself cause I dont need any of those features atm but if u want to make a whole new system its would be a good choice as it has 5.1 sound intergrated and it has bluetooth suport and ATA 150 wich is a new standard for connecting harddrives (and the connectors are really small ) and it also has agp8x for if u buy this board u wont have to worry it gets outdated to fast do u wanna buy it or what ?
The thing to be aware of is that if you want to use Serial ATA drives (SATA) with your current drive, you'll need an adapter. Currently Abit is the only company I'm aware of shipping with any sort of adapter---and they only send one. I haven't used that board, but MSI is of good quality and runs at a reasonable price.
the thing is I do not "want" to buy it. but if I can get it at a ridiculous price then I'll get it. the upgrade from mine to this is almost inexistent. I read a reviews where the kt333 performs better than the kt400(in opengl games). but this board officially supports the 333 fsb, soltek says my board supports it but people have had all kinds of problem running the bus at 333 with a cpu that natively does it, they have to play with the skew settings to make it work and soltek says absolutely nothing about those. SATA is not really a feature that I need, but the boards come full equip, I cannot choose the features I want or do not want on it.
Unless you want the features of the motherboard and don't mind resintalling Windows, there's not a point. If your going to get a new CPU that can run the 333MHz FSB and have the RAM to do it with, and/or have CPU that can do that 333MHz FSB, there's not a whole lot of reason to go to a new board that you can't take advantage of. As for the included features, MSI tends to feature several versions of a motherboard with different features, one is ususally decked out in all it's glory and the others remove a feature or two until there's the basic model left. They tend to have the widest variances of features on motherboards of any company I know, so you can buy one without features you won't be using. Most companies still have a basic and advanced model of several motherboards, but not as wide of range as MSI does.
you're wrong rza....it's already gone up there are a bunch of them actually there'S another msi kt4 ultra fisr there's a epox 8rda+ msi k7n2g-l abit nf7-s there was also an ati radeon 9000 pro 128mb all for 1$ everyone seems to want those....don'T quite understand why....:swt:
it works my father has bought a couple of things from there in fact he just received a box of assorted network cards which he got for 1$ they're almost all isa cards(which he can use, he still has boards with isa slots on them) but there are 2 or 3 pci among which there is a 3com there's also 3 simms of 2mb each (wow!)
