Does this motherboard rock?

[rickjames]

I bought the EPoX EP-9NPA +ULTRA ATX AMD motherboard and had to RMA it immediately after I got it upon EPoX's technical support suggestions (since my computer wouldn't even boot). Well, the replacement would boot, but you can not get passed the BIOS screen because the keyboard won't work. A local computer store tried to update the BIOS and the screen said it wasn't even an Award Bios and it failed. The computer store said my motherboard is bad.

So, my question is, does this other board seem like a good board to get? I'm thinking about getting this one instead: BFG BFGRNF4U
OR, can someone suggest another good motherboard under $200? Preferably around $120?

Thanks!

MSI K8N Neo4-F Nice basic board. I just did a build for my brother-in-law with this board and it's working flawlessly.
