computer upgrade!!!

[dreams]

even with this board, I am able to play mkv files from a HDRip. But when playing from a BRRip, it freezes sometimes, need to change some settings in the player.

Anyways, I am sure, I have to change the MOB. But in a dilemma whether to change the proccy. My MOB socket is 478. According to this, I have got 2 brands of MOB. one from MSI and another from Biostar. They are,
BIOSTAR Model P4M900M4 Vista ready
MSI 945GCM478

Or any other suggestions?

Intel
Via
Sis
ATI

MSI has inbuilt Intel video card - *msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=170&prod_no=1525

Biostar has S3 Chrome9 IGP - *www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138079

Gigabyte has Intel, VIA, Sis and ATI. Since ATI is best, I have compared all the avail 3 models and here is the link - *www.gigabyte.in/Products/Motherboard/Products_ComparisonSheet.aspx?ProductID=1822,1750,1836

Can some1 go thru the links and help me in finalizing?

Forget about one with via/Sis chipset. Pick among the other two.

^^ so r u sugg me to pick Biostar or MSI? leaving Gigabyte aside.

 

[dreams]

can sum1 answer my above query?

 

[damngoodman999]

Gigabyte boards are better than BIOSTAR

Gigabyte board is best one !!

 

[dreams]

^^the reason why I am stickin to Biostar is because, it has a Via onboard graphics, PCIe x16 slot, x1 slot and 2 PCI slots. Also Realtek 6.1 sound card inbuilt.

Giga has only AGP and no PCIe slots. Also if I go for giga, which chipsets to use, VIA or SIS or ATI?

Confused guys. Enlighten me.

 

[desiibond]

for how long are you going to use the mobo. with PCIe slot, taht biostar board definitely looks interesting but that VIA chipset sucks when it comes to drivers and compatibility.

My pick would be 945GCM478

Intel chipset, GMA 950 onboard graphics chip
PCIe
7.1 channel audio
gigabit lan

 

[dreams]

the reason y I was behind biostar is due to VIA graphics. my lappy has the same, and win 7 gets the drivers easily. Also heard tht intel graphics are no gud. Wil the GMA 950 support Win 7?

reviving this thread again..cos need to definitely upgrade my mobo with this months salary.

advices please.
