MSI RS480M2-IL?

[mrweirdo]

I'm looking at the MSI RS480M2-IL for a cheap microATX athlon64 system and I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with it? How is its build quality? Does MSI still have the faulty capacitor issues? and how is the ATI chipset?

My other option is the Foxconn NF4K8MC-ERS

The difference I notice is that the MSI board has onboard video otherwise I will be throwing in a cheap saphire x300 card if I go the Foxcon route. The only trouble with foxcon is the fact that it only offers two DDR slots wich will be full as oposed to MSI with four.

I love the MSI board. It's running in my m-atx case and it's doing fine with some great performance. The onboard graphics aren't the greatest but they can play current games at low resolutions with low detail. It's a great board, no faulty caps, yet.

I heard the ATI Radeon X200 128mb onboard wasn't that great. You minus well go with the Foxconn mobo unless you want to save money and get the MSI board.

i should mention this system isnt gona be doing anything realy graphics heavy at all because its gona be a system mostly for word processing that sort of stuff. mayby an ocassional dvd playage but thats not to likely itself.

and I just relized i should have placed this in the motherboard forums oops
