I like many things on the board... seems to play back divx video much better than the MSI pro2a did... multimedia stuff in general seems to be working better.... The dip switches have little handles so they are easy to reposition.... The onboard sound (which I don't use) is supposedly hardware accelerated.
On the con side I have had the lockup with high pitch squeel thing happen a couple of times... once in Quake 3 demo.... I have a SBlive sound card.
When I change the multiplier to anything it defaults to 8.5x (my chip is a TBIRD 750) even after I scraped all the defogger stuff off an thouroghly cleaned the chip (I saw another post of someone else with this problem).
The TBIRD 750 can't seem to handle 1000mhz at 133fsb... it boots to windows and then crashes. I can run solid at 975 but this board will not let you change the PCI/AGP divider, (it will only change when you switch to fsb133) so if your pci/agp stuff can't handle the extra speed this might be a problem.
Outlook Express did not work but reloading windows fixed that....
Anyone else have this board what do you think?
