Mislim da treba da objasnim zasto sam rekao da je Xpress ocajan chipset.
Sprema testu na pcstats.com MSI RS480M2 u sve testove je na posledno mesto. Evo linka do testu:

"You'd better have decent case airflow if you plan on using the RS480M2-IL since the
RS480 Northbridge gets quite hot during operation. In fact the little black heatsink was too hot to touch for more than a few seconds.
This is surprising since ATI's Intel-based counterpart, the RS400, runs quite cool"
"The IXP400 Southbridge supports eight USB 2.0 ports, four Serial ATA generation one HDDs, four Ultra/133 IDE HDDs, a 7.1 channel soundcard and up to five PCI devices. The IXP400 can do RAID but only modes 0 and 1 are currently available. The specifications of the IXP400 seem a bit dated compared to the competition from nVidia and VIA, so hopefully ATi will revamp its Southbridge lineup in the near future."
"In this section of the review we would usually discuss overclocking, but unfortunately there are no overclocking options in the RS480M2-IL's BIOS"
Ovdje Asus A8V kosta oko 55 usd a moze da se zeme i neki Innovisio 6200 za oko 60 usd i da sistem imnogo bolje performase od MSI RS480M2.
Medzutim zelim da napomenim da nisam imao nikakvo prakticno iskustvo sa ovaj chipset (kod nas ima je jedino u Riversoft (MSI RS480M2, i kako mi je rekao moj prijatelj koj radi tamo do sada nemaju ni jednu prodadeno) i da je moguce da neka kompanija osim MSI ima daleko bolja integracija ovog chipseta.
