haha....ahhh they will say anything these days!

The problem is, I have a motherboard and would not upgrade the MB just to add the Killer network functionality. Indeed, the MB is the one component I am least likely to upgrade until such time as I want to upgrade to a CPU that is not compatible with my current MB. On that basis... the E2200 as an integrated-only solution is of no practical use to me. I suspect I am far from alone in this attitude, so is a standalone card likely to be available in the near future?

Is there even enough demand for high end motherboards in the ROG price zone to warrant even bothering.

I thought polling rates are up to the mouse driver?!

I just had to install some modified driver files to bring my old Microsoft Explorer mouse up to 500Hz.

What a paper tiger.

Seriously, it sounds like they are trying to sell me an HDMI cable, and an expensive one at that.

lol i suppose those people with more money than sense need something to spend it on

Would people pay RoG prices for MSI? For the vast majority even RoG is unneccesary but it has the brand-MSI sure doesn't. I expect an absolute flop for MSI here, unless it brings some truly game changing ideas

Wow, 10x more life when plugging/unplugging my mouse. I don't know about anyone else but that's the only reason I've ever updated my mobo, the ps/2 connector wearing out....

MSI have a pretty decent rep to be fair. They make pretty good motherboards, laptops and graphics cards.

Looks and sounds nice, but had 1 msi Mb once and the customer support was terrible!

What a load of tosh.
How they can get away with stuff like this still boggles my mind.

I think they really need a brand to succeed, and market it, just like Asus with RoG. Maybe they could push the lightning brand

An Overclock button?? This guy don't know anything about MB, that's a ClearCMOS button!, auto-overclock features in MSI boards are done from an internal button next to the onboard On and Reset buttons, or from the UEFI

I previously had an MSI mobo... never again! Stability issues and generally disappointing for OC.
