We've currently sold 400 of these boards @ work and have only gotten ONE back and it came back for a bad floppy controller.

I bought one myself and have a 900 running at 1030. STABLE as anything!

A friend and I wrote a quick review at http://www.torturetest.com/ .

MSI KT133 Pro2a

This board is extremely stable. Absolutely no complaints as far as performance. Only one minor bug which seems strange. This bug has to with the system freezing up.

Situation:

DSI 56K PCI Modem installed.

When The PC is offline, the phone cord from the modem to the wall jack is connected. If someone telephones my phone number, the computer freezes. Hmmmmmmm. I've got no clue as to why this happens. Iv'e been in the bios and verified wake on ring settings are turned off, but it still happens.

Other than that, very happy with the board, very stable, never crashes, except for that phone call thing though.

MSI K7T Pro2 - A

Did i type the name right?

Anyway this board has been excellent for me as well...I am a reseller/integrator (whatever) and have built systems with about 10 of these boards so far this year...ZERO rma's/problems.

ABIT on the other hand has been a nightmare for me. On an unrelated topic i bought 55 KT7's for a client and so far have had to rma about 8 of them!!! My distributor has even allowed me to replace the last 4 with MSI instead! That board (K7TPro2-A) is 30 dollars cheaper!) Believe me MSI has been much better for me and my customers...

KiCkAhA!
