Pros: Solid as a rock, even when full.

Cons: UDMA Higher than 3 not supported.

The Bottom Line: I find that MSI boards are generally solid like the MS6163 Pro. So if you are loading a board up with a heap of stuff. Get an MSI board.
ads82's Full Review: MSI MS-6163 Pro Motherboard
I have owned an MS6163 Pro since its release in 1998. Since then, Intel have gone back to making socket boards due to the performance loss with Slot 1 processors.

At present, I have fully loaded this mainboard up to the top. Here is its current configuration:

AGP Slot: AGP Video Card
5xPCI Slots: DVD-Decoder Card
Sound Card
Network Card
Internal Modem Card
PCI to USB Card
2xISA Slots: SCSI Controller Card
(1 Shared)

Even with all of this gear in the board, it hasn't failed once. Even with 3 IDE Hard drives and a DVD-Rom and 3 SCSI Hard drives.
