Do you want amotherboard with onboard graphics & play games with that onoard gfx & don't have plan to buy a gfx card
yup thats what i planned !
Don't even think of buying XFX motherboards ( my XFX 650i ultra gone kaput 3 times )
Really? I seemed to be in the impression that they were good. But is that a general perception or specifically you (topgear) dont prefer it. A person in this forum manishjha is also using it and "seems" to be happy with it. Anyways thnx for warning.
Also P35 is far more better chip than 630i or G31.
Are you saying this in terms of features or stability/longitivity,
because in terms of features, 630i is far ahead of n73 pv or even p35.
630i has nvidia graphics (p35 doesnt)
630i supports max 4 Gb ram (n73pv supports max 2 gb)
630i has 10 usb ports (palits have 8).
630i has hdmi, vivo, spdif in/out (niether palit has them)
630i has eSATA which i shall be using (niether palit has them)
Also the e2200 and e2000 are not supported by a few motherboards (XFX 63MI 7109) as they have LGA 776 (?) socket.
Anyways what would be the price of XFX MG 630i 7109/7159.
Also what is the diff b/w N73PV and N73V (if there is) ? should i go with pv just beacuse it is slightly more comman even if it is costlier.
Are there any other motherboards from gigabyte ,asus or msi in the range of 2-3.5 k which have onboard gfx (not intel GMA) and support dual core.
