MSI KM400 - Is it a good choice?

[sidefx]

I am buying a system and this mb comes with it but before I buy the system I wanted to know if anyone can tell me if this is a solid performer with good/decent performance or whether I should stay away from this board because of major issuses?

What is the onboard sound like or should I use an add-in card?

The on-board video I am not using!

km400 is the onboard video version of the kt400. it's a good chipset, but getting a little dated. unless you're getting a budget system, i'd look for something based on the kt600 or, better yet, nforce2 chipsets.
