MSI Slot A MicroATX Motherboard with Sound -- 39.50

[natenut]

I was checkin out ComputerGeeks and ran across this:

MSI microATX MS6191

looks pretty good for ~$40.00 couldn't find any reviews and it only has agp 2x. Anyone have any experience with the board? Yeah, yeah, i know its mircoATX, but you cant beat the price.

Hey. It's a good motherboard unless you have tons of cards you need to use. It's an AMD Irongate chipset board, great with compatibility issues (compatible with almost everything--unlike the VX133 and VT133 boards), and it supports the Slot A Thunderbirds outta the box. The new CT ES1373 drivers (released 1/05/01) also support EAX, so you get 3d sound with this board, too.

The only drawback is no PCI slot IRQ setting in BIOS. You'll have to move cards around on the board to make sure your NIC isn't sharing an IRQ with anybody else (especially your SCSI card, or a Vortex2 card you might use if you choose not to use the onboard Creative sound).
