In the back of my mind, I have down that the motherboard repairman was
not enthusiastic about MSI mainboards. The vast majority of the boards
he works on are for desktops and possibly in that building, where
there are a lot of stores that sell computers and components, the
majority of the boards sold are MSI. He seemed much more enthusiastic
about the Biostar board, had I needed one. (New PSU eliminated the
problems). I suggest you read reviews on
<http://www.motherboards.org/> and newegg.com and tigerdirect.com for
similar boards made by MSI and other companies, to get an idea of
their quality and reliability. The Realtek NIC could be the least of
your problems with an MSI board?
