Question on MSI mobo

[stevechurch]

I've seen a lot of recommendations for the MSI mobos. What's the difference between the K8N Neo and K8T Neo and the K8N Neo Platinum. I've also seen a K8M Neo-V. Lots of confusion here!
I expect to be using the Athlon 64 3000+.
Any negatives about these boards. Or alternatives.

Thanks,

Just to add more confusion how about the MSI K8TM-ISLR which is a lot cheaper (but only 3 PCI slots)?

Hi steve,

This is my personal opinion (no flaming intended!), but I have found MSI boards to be cheap and unreliable (talking from experience).

I highly recommend purchasing an Abit or Asus board instead.

The Abit IS7 is an excellent board that has yet to fail me - its cheap as well

[EDIT] Just realised you are using an AMD - go to www.abit.com.tw and select a prefered Abit board.
