Asus MOBO vs. MSI MOBO

[BigTy3986]

Hello,
Can somebody look at these two mobos and compare them for me? They both look exactly the same, except for the chipset. Is either one a bad brand?

They are similar, but the asus board has more ports and a newer chipset. Get the board with the ports you need. I also read the newegg reviews about overclocking and setup, even if you order from tiger direct.
