I'll let you know ASAP. I was building one of these and an Asus K8N-DL this past weekend (but didn't have time to finish the MSI RX480M2). One thing I don't like about the MSI RX480M2 is that it doesn't have a serial port on the back connector. :~-( It does have a parallel port... which I'm surprised wasn't "lost" before loosing the serial port. There is a serial port header on the motherboard, but the needed cable isn't included with the motherboard, and the header is in a place that typical header cables aren't long enough. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
