I have the Dual pIII MSI 694D Pro-AR board. It's really nice. I espacially like MSI's practice of putting little error LEDs on the mobo so you can see when something is wrong. Unfortunately, I can't use the on-board Promise Fasttrack-100. Linux doesn't have support for it, from what I can tell, and the driver for it makes Win2k blue screen on my system (even in safe mode!). I use a 3ware Escalade anyway, but I'd still like to play with the promise controller. I picked mine up at TranMicro for $194, IIRC. A bit expensive, but at least they test it before they give it to you :) Gabe On Fri, Feb 16, 2001 at 05:16:49PM -0600, Steve Grobe wrote: > Linuxians, > > I am thinking about building a new dual PIII system but before I go out > and spend some money I was wondering if anyone had experience with the > MSI 694D Pro AR motherboard, or MSI products in general.
