Support DX10 ??? Since when ?

hey i know that 690g's IGP supports only directx 9, i may have come across wrongly, i meant that u could always add a dx 10 gpu..sorry for the error

Get the BIOSTAR 690G T series mobo.Excellent value for money.Available here - www.theitwares.com

Yes this is really good motherboard i.e. Biostar TA690G AMD 690G Motherboard [*www.vr-zone.com/index.php?i=4726&s=10 & *www.vr-zone.com/index.php?i=4726&s=2 ]. I missed out it earlier as I was only keeping watch on Asus & MSI. The one from Asus had DVI but no HDMI and the MSI one had HDMI but no DVI, where as this one has got both of them [DVI & HDMI] together. Asus implemented HDMI through add on HDMI card but then that goes into PCI-Express and you can't add a graphic card later. Still it seems to be Micro ATX only as other two are. All the companies are sorting out some or other flaws in their boards and would soon come out with ATX version, which would have taken care of all these. They are expected as early as April end.

Apart from performance, I also look for asthetics & colours. I hate Asus's pale yellow-Orange PCB colour, I love MSI's Red PCB and this Biostar is also very attractive and colourfull too.

If one is not having any concern for Micro Vs ATX then this biostar board is a steal at its price. Though it is not overclocking board because it is not meant for OC.

Thanks, but I have seen this earlier too but there are some confusions. It says DVI through cable, duno what does that mean? Really who needs this crossfire stuff? No mention of onboard graphics either. Apart from lack of DVI, rest everything looks good. Don't know about availability & price here ???

ok so when r u going to buy ur proccy+ mobo?
in 65 nm the best available is 5000+ so u'll have to buy a 90 nm 5600+ which is also good & does not run hot

 

[premsharma]

Yeah, looking for 65nm processor but at the same time wants atleast 2mb cache one. Let's see how it works? Regarding motherboards, awaiting ATX from MSI or else I will go for BioStar. Biostar [AMD690G] is best among all exept that it is also mATX.

 

[ssk_the_gr8]

why do u want 2 mb cache r u going to overclock?
amd proceesors give good performance with 1 mb cache also

 

[premsharma]

Ok. So you mean 5000+ [65nm] would be ok. I am looking it for 3 years atleast and not going to upgrade anywhere before that.

What is difference in 90nm & 65nm in layman terms?? Is 65nm supposed to be cooler than 90nm??

 

[ssk_the_gr8]

yup 65 nm will be much cooler than 90nm

see....no cpu will last for 3 years...at this rate of development of technology..i bought amd athlon64 3500+ in november 2005 for 12000..look at its position now .....u should go for 65 nm amd 5000+ it is the best bet...it will run cool..& will definetly last 3 years...

& i think ...msi K9AG Neo2 Digital-F should be out soon...so go get it
