Just wondering, because a freebie Anti-virus software would be nice. Also, any of you that have this motherboard, how do you like it?

It comes with PC-cillan 2000.

I never used Pc-cillan so I have have no idea if thats any good.

As for the mobo, I have a MSI KT3 Ultra, but I would suggest getting the MSI KT3 Ultra- ARU.

With the ARU version you get a fan on the northbridge, USB2.0 , ATA133 RAID.
And an S-Bracket that has 2 SPDIF jacks for digital audio transmission(one for optical fiber connection the other for coxial) and 3 analog line out jacks for 4 channel audio output.

What you get: (with both versions)
Gotta love the MSI Live Update utility, that will automatically search out the latest version of Via drivers, MSI utilities latest bios for you with just a mouse click.

The Fuzzy Logic softwares tests your Pcs overclocking abilities and suggests the highest most stable settings by running its own little "stress test".

Plus software to monitor your fan speeds systems temps etc... (I havent used these much, I have a Digital Doc5 for that)

An MSI DVD software cd. ( I use power DVD, so I havent tried this either)

Board seems stable although I havent done much overclocking to my Athlon 1900xp (I use my watercooled rig to get my OC'ing fix nowadays..LOL)

And the red mobo looks great in my window along with my red Gainward GF4 Ti4600. ;)

Go HERE if ya want more user feedback opinions.

Thanks for the comeback. I like PC-cillin, have it on one of my computers at home, the other one has Norton on it. I get way more up-dates automatically per week than Norton, and it auto searches PC-cillin website for updates on boot-up, Norton requires you manually go to the website for updates.

I wanted to know about the Anti-virus software so I could use it in a comp at work.

I don't care about USB 2.0, Raid, or a fan on the Northbridge, so the KT3-cheapie ought to be fine.
