Well I have the MSI K8N Neo V on a VIA K8M800 chip set....all i can say that its a normal low end mobo...

Its has a 754 Socket
Single channel memory controller (MAX 2 GB)
2 SATA
2 IDE
1 AGP 8 X
5 PCI
and a VIA VT8237 southbridge

ITS a average performer

Yes, go for the 939 based mobos now...they support higher bandwidths...
Higher memory...dual channel memory...128 Bit mem controller....
