Anyone have this board and care to comment?

In one word I can sum up this board.

CRAP

And I am being kind :disgust:

wah? i got this board and its been great so far-

http://www20.tomshardware.com/motherboard/20030707/i875p-47.html

it even won the tomshardware best motherboard award compared with a ton of 865 and 875p motherboards- it outperformed the 875p chipsets too..

my personal experience from it is that its been pretty stable- after i flashed the bios- not one crash- no blue screens-

its currently only $115 after rebate at newegg which puts its way under the other high end motherboard prices-

it has INTEL gigabit lan and on board raid as well as IDE raid which i thought was awesome-

As for reviews- i've yet to find a negative review from reputable sites~ so why do u diss it so harshly?

so why do u diss it so harshly?

Because I actualy owned one & I couldnt get rid of it fast enough,i wasnt alone everybody here on this board had problems with them too.

MSI 865PE-NEO2LS experience..

There is a new Platinum edition of the Neo2 on the MSI website.
Very tempting

Anyone have any experience with this board?

I'm considering this among the Gigabyte PEpro2, Asus P4p800 , the Abit IC7 versus the new 655tx chipset boards...

I've had a good experience with it and so did a lot of other people so I can't agree that it's junk. The review you gave is for the LS too, the lower model- as for my setup, i got a 3.0ghz and 2 sticks of kingston hyperx pc3200- raised the ram voltage to 2.7 and the computer has been working fine ever since- i hit 18k with 3dmark2001se as well- the p4p800 you got is good too but its very limited in features (i have a p4p800 in my other computer and there's nothing wrong with it so dont take that negatively)..

I'm wondering the same thing about the P-series. I've been looking at the Neo2 i865PE board for a while now. I just noticed a couple weeks ago about the P-series. I noticed it can support more than the regular series. I haven't seen any reviews yet though. I'm probably going to get it in a few weeks, but I'd like to see what people think of it and it's major differences, other than what it supports...
