MSI's support of Opteron sucks terribly. They have a strong track record of EOL'ing their Opteron boards by not providing BIOS support when new Opteron come out. Unless you really need 12 DIMM sockets on a dual-cpu (2 processor sockets) motherboard I would never buy an MSI. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
