Simon, The MSI K9N Platinum motherboard has an IEEE1394 (FireWire) chipset, while the Asus M2N-E does not. You mentioned earlier that youre designing a PVR/MediaCenter PC -- lots of consumer devices such as cable boxes and digital cameras use FireWire to transfer images and video. MythTV can use FireWire[1] and according to Wikipedia almost all modern digital camcorders have included this connection since 1995. [2] I think the MSI K9N Platinum motherboard would therefore be better suited for a Multimedia PC.
