Chaintech 7nif2, most people says it suck but if you have at least 512mg of good ram its awsome, and has great onboard video.

the asus a7n8x, whatever model has the onboard video, may be -vm.. (meaning, the asus a7n8x-vm)

I think it's floating around 100 - 110. Depends on where you look for it. (ASUS mobo)

hmm, might be...depends on if you are talking canadian or US...Champ is in the US...

I will go look on newegg to see what the price is...

edit: Asus A7N8X-VM (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-131-483&depa=1) &#036;85US :P

has onboard geforceMX graphics...not THAT bad, not the greatest in any way, but you will be able to play most games...

btw, it also has a TV encoder, which im guessing means TV-out :) (which is on all new graphics cards anyway)

That&#39;s my mobo I think. I got the A7N8X-VM/400-UAY. Very nice. About 6 months ago @ newegg ~&#036;93. :)

Actually the asrock is built by asus

"Good choice you can&#39;t go wrong with an Asus board ."

But yea it is not as good as the other thus its cheaper and it does hav all the good options but does not hav a good onboard vid, but then again not all mobos hav good onboard vid.

exactly.

you cant base a decision by looking at onboard video, that board is great because hes not going to be doing much gaming

most stuff is made in the same factory, so thats not really that big a deal...... your XBOX comes from the same factory as your PS2.......

1 company develops it, another assembles it........
