TweakTown has posted a review on the MSI 815e Pro MS-6337 socket370 ATX motherboard which has a whole showcase of features such as ATA100 support, AGP4x support and Intel Solano 815e 133MHz chipset plus much more!

MSI have been manufacturing top quality computer motherboards for the past 10 or more years now through their factory in Taiwan. The MSI MS-6337 815e motherboard is no different, it is indeed a top quality board. The MS-6337 is based on the Intel Solano 815e chipset designed for socket 370 133MHz FC-PGA processors such as the Intel Pentium III and the Intel Celeron II. This board officially supports 133MHz bus, unlike Intel BX440 chipsets which only supports 100MHz bus speeds. The MS-6337 has a complete showcase of features such as AGP 4x/2x, 66/100/133MHz FSB, 2 IDE channels up to ATA100, TOP Tech III support and a 1AGP / 6PCI / 1CNR slot design. The MS-6337 has two bad features noticed straight away, they are the integrated DirectSound AC´97 audio ICH2 chip, which cause all sorts of trouble with most PCI / ISA soundcards. And, the only other bad feature is having no heatsink for the 815e chipset which at times can get hot even when not overclocked.
