Review of Socket 8 Motherboards

MSI MS6107

This Dual Pentium Pro motherboard does not need voltage regulator modules (VRMs) and fulfils higher demands on a server motherboard: 5 PCI slots as well as three memory banks should be enough to ensure proper upgrading of hardware or memory. The floppy/IDE connectors are not placed optimally, since you will have to give up one or two full size PCI slots. But then I think it's rather scarce that somebody has more than three ironing-board-size PCI cards. As you can see on the picture, MSI uses AMI BIOS.
