I am looking for socket 754 MB that is very stable.
I purchased an MSI Neo Plat. and have had all kinds of headaches with the board. It is currently RMA'd to newegg.
System:
MSI NEO
(2)OCZ 256 EL pc3200
ATI 9200se
New Enlight Power supply 360w
Western Digital 80GB IDE drives(2)
NU DVD RW
Problems /w MSI Neo
I want a good stable board at stock speeds. This computer is for office work. I am just upgrading a system that was too old and did not have USB2.0 and firewire. I do have a firewire card so it does not have to integrated on MB.
Any reccommendations? ASrock w/ SIS or any NVidia or VIA boards?

- Could not install OS (win2000, win 98se, winxp, winxp64) at first- constant lockups, failure to extract files from CAB, and could not load XMS when booting from 98 startup.
- Memtest reported all kinds of errors in test 4, 5, and 6 until I slowed ram to 166 with CAS 3 then just occasional errors mostly in test 4
- Win xp64 worked OK but video lagged and system was very slow
- Got an install of winxp. It was fine until I upped ram speed then lost stabilty (lockups not BSOD)
