MSI P45 Neo-F

[janitha]

I have ordered MSI P45 Neo-F (+E8400) and expecting it within two days. But there seems to be lot of complaints on the web reg the mobo, for eg., @ newegg.com like difficulty in Bios update, problems with Nvidia cards etc. Those of you using it pl post their own personal experiences.

I heard that the default Bios (1.3) doesn't support Nvidia and doesn't boot with it and 1.2 and certain newer Bios do. But the thing is, without booting into windows it cannot be upgraded online and upgrading bios through usb drive or cd is not possible. Further, RAM above 800 is said to have problems. And floppy drive is not with me for past several years. As a last resort I will get an ATI graphis. (BTW I am not at all a fan of Nvidia, just wanted to retain the present one since I am not into games.)
