Hello,
I have my eye on a mATX AM2+ board with PCI-e 2.0 compliance and 8gb total RAM (a big step up form my current mobo), it costs 50 pounds and is made by MSI (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/148368). However a friend on Skype told me to "steer clear, it's mATX", what does he mean? Are mATX boards seen as inferior? Or do MSI not make good mATX boards? I am a bit confused on this matter .
