Excellent overall

Strengths: Great price to performance ratio, has almost all needed features

Weakness: None in perticular

Like all motherboards from MSI, this one too is great performer when considered the price tag it carries. I have been using this with Intel E6300 for 4 months, and yet i haven't found any serious issues. Actually this is a descent entry level combo for core 2 duo.

MSI blames me even though the site did not mention that it was an IDE to SATA RAID controller until after I complained. THEY ACTUALLY CHANGED THE SITE...
