MSI K7T-Turbo is a fantastically stable motherboard. Since I have bought my computer in may this year I haven't had a single problem with this motherboard. Layout is simply great leaving you enough place for a big CPU heat sink. There are 4 USB and 6 PCI outlets. One drawback is that there is no ISA outlet on the board.

This is perhaps my favourite motherboard made my MSI. I think it is cool just because of the RAID support, but there are so many things that make this a great board. I actually own this board's predecessor the K7T Pro-2A which is very stable and overclockable, but the Turbo takes the cake by far. Personnaly I have seen a 1Ghz AXIA chip run stable at 1525Mhz on this one. This board theoretically will support AMD Athlon's up to 1.7 Ghz so it is ready for the future.
