I recently bought a MSI P6NGM MB and wanted to relay my feelings regarding this POS LOL.
First off the first 2 boards i received from the EGG were DOA, the 3rd finally worked semi ok, read below.
It only does single channel memory, has very limited OC options in the bios, reads temps way below what they are actually at, has problems shutting down properly, the HDMI output is lackluster at best, the MB supplies .6 volts more Vcore then the CPU needs and there are no options to change the Vcore in the bios and if you upgrade the bios version the pci-E slot can go all whacky on you. MSI's OCing program "Dual Core Center" just plain bites.
I would highly suggest avoiding this board. While it is priced pretty darn cheap it is no bargain to say the least.
