This is an Intel board, not AMD...but if you still want a cheap T-Bird Computer Geeks has those too.

BTW this is a good deal for a nice Intel PIII or Celeron II system.

I don't think this board will work with AMD CPU.

I guess this is why it is so cheap and CompGeeks started out with so many (2000+). I ordered it last week and I am waiting for it to be delivered. I hope performance is not as bad as they say. I will use this with a Cel 900 that I picked up for cheap at Newegg. This MB uses the VIA Apollo Pro 266 chipset.


<< Apart from the Shuttle, the MSI MS-6366 is the only board tested that works with both SDRAM memory and DDR SDRAM memory. The board's very poor performance is a serious problem - it places last in practically all the benchmarks. Its limping performance can partly be attributed to its weak AGP performance - the MSI MS-366 doesn't support the AGP Fast Write mode.

On the other hand, the long track length between the processor and the Northbridge chipset already hints at this problem. In addition, the test revealed some compatibility problems with DDR SDRAM memory - a very limited assortment of modules can be used in the MSI board. >>

Thanks for correction. Just edited. It is a VIA Apollo Pro 266 chipset.
