Hi All, I'm in the midst of putting together a new PC. Have read a lot
of reviews and singled down to either the 8KNXP or MSI 865 Neo2.
Reviews for these 2 boards are all pretty good so I'm at a loss.
Does anyone have any advice on which is the better mobo?
Thanks in advance!!

P4 3.0G 800FSB

ATI Radeon 9700Pro

The MSI 865 Neo 2 is the faster mobo with the right memory. Even beats all the 875P mobo's.

Intel did annouce the are going to remove PAT from the 865 chipset. Don't know if they already have.

If you go to the MSI website, it has gotten 52 awards the last time I checked.

8knxp is a rock solid board, stable. Like I said, looses a bit on speed.

Will remember that next time round! Thanks Peter!
