As usual, another solid motherboard from MSI. The feature that makes this board stand out among the competition is the bright Lamborghini orange heatsink/fan on the MCH. Unfortunately because the board limits itself to a maximum FSB of 132MHz we couldn't find out of the extra cooling could give it the edge over the ASUS P4B in the FSB overclocking test.
Like some of the other motherboards, there were some multiprocessor specific options in the BIOS that obviously had no purpose being there.
