This audio support, of course, means the board has on-board audio in the form of the Creative CT5880 with all the various connections located near it. MSI does not go overboard with capacitors as some manufacturers do, and has them all in nonobtrustive locations. The two drawbacks I encountered in the layout of the board involve two connectors. This can be a little obtrusive. These two connectors are located right up near the PCI slots, making it very tough to clear your CMOS with any PCI cards installed.
Installation is pretty straight-forward.
The board has no jumpers for CPU speeds or voltages. In fact, the only jumpers on the board are the CMOS clear and the Flash BIOS enable. It s not the Abit-style manual, which can give an entire history of computing. But, it works. The included CD has MSI manuals on it as well, but not the one for the 6309.
