FIC K8-800T

??

thoughts on it? i can't find much on it other than the manufacturer's site and a few reviews. anyone using it in an A64 rig?

...i'm asking because i have one from a friend. unused besides the cpu retention thingy missing. i guess it was never installed in a case at all.

MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum, ATX, DDDR400, 2x Gbit Lan, USB 2.0, 1394, 7.1Ch Audio, SATA, Raid, WiFi Card

i know its MSI but its a good board.

that DFI board is very nice - I am running stock cooling so I haven't kicked the fsb above 225 - it is very solid

hey guys...thanks for the input. i was asking specifically about the FIC board since i already have it.

a friend had one that he gave to me, so i was checking to see if it's a decent board. i don't have any other components for building a pc anyway...so this one will probably just be sold for cheap.
