be warned.

the neo2's are infamous for having a 250mhz 1:1 bug in them which slaps you in the nuts when you try to overclock past 250-260mhz. basically the ram will fail even though you have proven ram that goes higher.
there was 1 week of this board that was produced that didnt have this bug and its highly sought after.

Overall a very well done board by MSI. They could of added the Silicon Image SATA controller instead of the crappy Nvidia. I've had Promise, Sil, and nvidia SATA and its a draw between Sil and Promise but i think the Sil is faster, the Nvidia just sucks .

CPU wise what cpu are you putting on it ?

the Sand Diego and X2 are the only ones that have issues.

I will recommend no matter what chip you use, go get the 1.8 Rev 3 NFM bios or the 1.36 Rev 4 NFM bios.
Not sure if NFM hangs out here but he is over at XS.
Those 2 bios's are the only ones worth using. Although if you have a Sandiego NFM has a san diego only bios that fixes No Temp issues and 1T issues.
the 1.a3 bios would be your best bet for an X2 chip.

Let us know how it goes.
My board is touchy past 260mhz , has what i call broken dimm slots as it refuses to let me run single channel ram with 2 sticks. and refuse to let me run 3 or 4 sticks but dual channel runs great. well great as i can get on a goofy board like this.
I need to rma this board. >:| but i dont want to cuz the HTT maxes out at around 370mhz so i can really crank things up when i want to..
Maybe you got a good version who knows.
