I'm new to this and want to ask a few questions:

Its definately gotta be winchester 3000+ but which Mboard? IS it MSI Neo plat 2? cuz i heard it dosent have a pci lock will this mean that pci slots will have to be kept empty? however the Abit uguru AV8 has lock AGP & PCI but leaky caps or summith,I Wanna know why you guys dont like the abit as it could be interesting to learn why.
it would be nice to have a structured reason for an explanation. Thanks
