The 200euros go in the "help sarc get a brand new Ferrari" fund. :p
Seriously, I don't know. Of course taxes are going to be a part of it however the price doesn't seem that high considering excl taxes it still costs about 630 euros at most of our distributers. And I'm not familiar with the Asus bundle so it's likely there's a few differences between the two aswell.
I am not pimping it in any way, we just got it in and I decided to play with it for a little, just to see how it works. Everything in windows doesn't seem to be a lot faster, and we have had some trouble getting it to function normally. Once we had the right Via drivers everything seemed fine though.
We're currently looking to "acquire" a 64bit windows version or Linux distro, to see how that works.
Is the MSI the best athlon 64 mobo? I wouldn't know, for I have seen just one. By the looks of it, it looks like any other board by MSI, cheap! And that's not a good thing when you have to shell out 799 for the combo. ;) Onboard features on the other hand where excellent. |
