Where other motherboard manufacturers have fallen by the wayside (DFI, as proved by both the mediocre
DK 790FXB-M3H5, and the reader reaction to it), or given up altogether (Abit, Epox), MSI is moving onwards and upwards.
MSI used to consistently languish in a distant third place (compared to Asus and Gigabyte) but this year not only has it really challenged the dominant two, in my opinion, it's successfully achieved a top tier place with many recommendation-worthy products.
For those who know me, writing something so unanimously positive is a difficult objective, being the critical barsteward I am. This reputation seems to have carried more than I've realised, as the conversation below proves after I tweeted that I was writing
"a blog about MSI". Thank you for your honesty, my anonymous friend.

I know

I thought you were meant to be rude to everyone
However the more I write this the more obvious it seems, so, I can be nice when the situation calls for it!
