I would honestly rather rather an ECS/Pc Chips anyday of the week.
MSI is trash /rant.
anyone else been snakebit by the heap in a box called MSI?

edit:I hope they go out of business.I honestly do.

build systems with them daily, Intel chipset boards pretty solid
but the rest suck.

Ive always had bad luck with MSI to the point that I dont buy them anymore when I build personal machines or build for people.

I have a K7N2 and has ran flawless for 2 months now. My son has my older K7T Turbo 2 board and it has ran flawless for over a year now. Not one hiccup on either board. As much as you guys wouldn't recommend them, I would. I have bought many MSI products, from video cards, to mainborads, to burners. Never had a single problem with anything. Any manufacturer has problematic hardware here and there. Although I can understand leaving a brand when mutiple problems happen to you. I would do the same.

I have Kingston pc3200 in my K7N2 and it works fine in dual channel. You do have one in the green and one in the purple slots, right? Not accusing of not knowing, but wanted to ask.

I have a MSI K7N2 Delta-ISLR that has run great for months. Stable as a rock (no OC), runs dual channel great (not that this matters on AMD boards) and it looks good. This is the first MSI board I have owned, and I wouldn't have a problem getting others, as this one has run great.
