Digit July issue names Mercury PI915GVM as Gold winner among Budget motherboards. I was unable to find a stockist at Lamington Rd., so called up their local office twice to get two different Resellers' names, who both also did not have the board nor expected in near future.
I am going for a new MOBO+CPU (Usage: Online office work, extensive surfing and downloading music, video etc., and watching-recording TV progs. Gaming is casual and not essential.)
Which combination of P4 Processor + Mobo would be ideal and reasonably priced? The board should have onboard good quality audio/graphics/Lan and support a TV tuner card, SATA 180 GB HDD and old HDD 40 GB. Will the board support my 2 yr old 2x256 mb DDR 266 Ram along with new 512 mb DDR RAM (Total 1GB RAM)? Would it be possible to get a good performance and quality audio-video on a budget around 10 K (CPU and MOBO only) ?
What are pros and Cons of going for an Intel original 915 MOBO ?
Thank you.
