A single ISA slot on your mobo doesn't effect you in any way, so why are you so bothered about it?

Nice board, but the EPoX 8KTA3 has it beat - offering 4 DIMM slots (KT7 Turbo only has 3). The EPoX 8KTA3 has 6 PCI slots and 1 ISA slot Also, I/O voltages, Vcore, and multiplier all adjustable in BIOS...

Well, I tried Epox 8KTA2. And for quality and stability it's not even close to MSI K7TPro2.

My biggest complaint on the MSi is that they don't use AGP pro...not that it's used yet but it could come in handy at some point.

Venomous, ISA modems are generally better and also cheaper than PCI modems. ISA NIC cards are up in the air- 10/100 NICs are generally hard to find for ISA but 10Mbit ISA NICs are cool if you are just on a 10Mbit hub or something.

Also, why does it bother you SOOOO much that there are ISA slots on motherboards? You don't want to use it- don't! I really can't imagine you need that 6th PCI slot. Heh, 5 PCI slots often result in IRQ problems so that 6th PCI slot is chancy anyway. ;)

All that taking off that ISA slot does is allow manufacturers to put a 6th PCI slot on and cause people with kickass ISA modems to have to dish out more money for a PCI modem.

Now, this problem doesn't affect me because I use a PCI NIC for my cable modem, but it does affect others. :p

The MicroStar 815EP Pro-R has AGP Pro, a useless thing(just like CNR) in my opinion, I dont know why people keep dissing CNR and yet praising an equally useless AGP Pro slot.
