The MSI Pro2 is a solid board that offers a set of features that is comparable to the Asus A7V. Unlike its predecessor, the K7T Pro, the Pro2 offers all the tweaks such as multiplier that were previously unavialable.
The main differences are:
- Price: MSI K7T Pro2 is a tad cheaper, though harder to find right now
- ATA100: The Pro2 does not have ATA100, though it definitely will if you are willing to wait awhile.
- USB Ports: The A7V supports 7 USB ports, and also includes an additional header so you can use 5.
- BIOS features: The MSI Pro2 offers the ability to adjust everything in the BIOS. The A7V requires that you adjust the multiplier using DIP switches. The jumperfree mode for voltage and FSB is also a bit flaky (at least in my board).
