Has MSI gone to crap?
Got burned with 2 recent MSI motherboard purchases. Unfortunate
because that was my "go to" brand for non-AMD systems. Anyone else see their quality go to ****? I noticed that they are now made in China instead of Tawain. |

I am really interested in the responses on this subject. I am
currently waiting for the new NForce4 Ultra boards to come out by MSI. Right now it is the only company with the Ultra version to be coming out ( I am not really interested in SLI properties as I am an ATI man).

My only MSI boards were slot A I bought three and two gave me problems.
Since I have been an Abit user for many years. But recently I have made the switch to DFI. Motherboards are all they do. If you care about where stuff comes from, DFI uses Japanese capacitors. Give them a look. wrote in message oups.com... Got burned with 2 recent MSI motherboard purchases. Unfortunate because that was my "go to" brand for non-AMD systems.

Never had any problems with MSI boards using AMD Athlon & Sempron CPU's,
don't know about their Intel boards. PT "John Doe" wrote in message ... Trent© wrote: On 31 Dec 2004 11:56:01 -0800, wrote: Got burned with 2 recent MSI motherboard purchases.
