Current PC: Pentium 166

-Date of Birth: December 1996
-Date of Death: HOPEFULLY this summer by means of euthenasia once I get my new PC


I'm planning on getting a new PC soon and I have most of my components nailed down, with the exception of one: motherboard (surprise, surprise)

I currently have my attention tuned to the MSI 645E Max2 (MS-6567), which uses SiS 645DX chip and also has the ability to utilize USB 2.0. Feature-wise, this looks like a good board. But performance wise, I don't have much info...

Anyone recommend this board, or have a suggestion for a better one?

The brand name choices are limited to the following, (dealer doesn't have others listed):
Asus, Abit, ECS, Gigabyte, and MSI.
