MSI K7T-266 Pro Motherboard -- finally, a GOOD buy?

[VBboy]

I know that a lot of Web sites posted negative reviews about the MSI K7T266 Pro motherboard because of that misplaced transistor and the non-yet-matured BIOS. There were performance problems as well as instability issues.

Now, I am considering buying this motherboard.
Is it finally safe to buy this board, or are there still some problems with it?

If you know anything, or have a link to a newer review of this board, PLEASE post it!

If anyone was experiencing problems with this motherboard, but a new BIOS or something else helped, please let me know!

I think its OK to buy this board right now. Aside from those negative reviews a couple of months ago, I have seen at least three or four positive reviews of this board in the past few weeks. If this board performs well, it can present a great challenge to the DDR board of choice Epox 8K7A.

LXi,

Can you recall one or more of the sites where you saw the new reviews? It would really help. Thanks!

P.S. I was in fact considering the Epox 8K7A, but it doesn't have RAID on board..
