My dealer seems to be pretty insistent that the MSI RS482 M4 series is about to be discontinued. any news on that?

i dont think so, but the thing is that imports in dia might be affected...
because here ppl have not much idea of thinga and market depends on assemblers.. so if they purchse nVidia 6100 based mobo's in large number then it is possible that u will not be able to fing it on shops easily

thanks guys
I can't understand why my dealer is not giving me the MSI boards all he does is keep telling me to buy the ASUS K8N VM which misses many of the features on the other boards and is more expensive too

well then insist on getting an MSI,

It's just a conincidence that most of boards i have ever purchased are MSI, befire purchasing every board i look at the features, and incidentally i have more MSI.

Actually both of them make equally good motherboards and i like both of MSI and ASUS' motherboards.......

Well... I was planning to assemble a system this month end. Should I wait for the 6150 or go for the GA-K8N51GMF-9 (NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Chipset nForce 430) ? Will the 6150's be available by then?

go for 6100, the only difference in it & 6150, is 50 MHz clock speed, which since it is onboard won't make a lot of difference,

U will hardly afind any motherboard with geforce 6100 & nforce 430 MCP, although with 410 U won't be missing anything special

hey my inclination is moving to the MSI K8NGM2-IL , it has the best of both worlds , the features of the MSI RS 482 series( excluding the TV out) and the performance of the Nvidia 6100 chipset. Thanks for suggesting this and telling me the prices.

One more question ...how do I identify a AMD 3000+ venice core just by looking at the box of the processor?
 

Kniwor

that is what i suggest, believe me it is a very good motherboard.

the part number will be something like,
...XX..BP in the end or ...BPBOX in the end,

if the part number ends in AW it is a winchester.
i dont think u will find a newcastle around that easily unless it is a really old stock.

Im using a 6100 on a socket 754 platform namely the MSI k8ngm v and I can even play nfs mw and Q4 at 640 480 medium detail

2x512 ddr 400 athlon 64 2800+ and the memory shared seems to be 64 mb but the chip shows as 256 mb in the display properties, I dunno what it is...I'v tried out 3 games NFS MW@640x480, Q4 at 640x480 and GTA San Andreas at 800x600x32...I get a bit of slowdown in q4 in a few places but generally it's quite playable and in the others I haven't noticed any lag yet, only prob is there is no active cooling and the chip runs pretty hot. Speedfan doesn't work on this mobo yet so I couldn't get xact readings
