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. Performance is quite good compared with other boards with VIA KT133A chipset. I guess it is a bit slower than Abit K7T but MSI wins it on stability.

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.
