October 1, 200520 yr well im almost done with picking all the parts for my new computer i just need help picking a mobo. i want a mobo that has pci-e x16 and onboard video(temporary because i cant get a video card right now)im down with eitherThis Biostar TForce Socket 939orThis ECS RS480-M V1.0 Socket 939right now im leaning towards the Biostar TForce. i was hoping to order this weekend but since the Biostar TForce is out of stock at the moment. is it worth the wait until newegg restocks its Biostar TForce with the onboard nVidia GeForce 6100 video or should i get the ECS mobo with ATi Radeon Xpress onboard video.Pretty Good Benchmarks with the GeForce 6100
October 1, 200520 yr Author I say get an Asus because those are both cheap.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>on a budget, no Asus for me =(. i might change my mobo later, its either these 2 for now. Edited October 1, 200520 yr by BombaTwist
October 1, 200520 yr You should definitely "cheap out" somewhere else and get the right motherboard the first time. For instance, get a little less RAM and add more later...that's a WHOLE LOT easier than replacing the motherboard later.

October 3, 200520 yr for the memory on the vid card, it is able to use 128mb and it has 32mb integrated into the vid card. so if u want to use 128mb then u will have to use ~96mb of your own ram, but u can just use the 32mb if u want since u wont rly be gaming.and can u just list the parts, newegg is having some problems for some reasonor i think you copied the link wrong, u copied the reduced version of it that msfn does Edited October 3, 200520 yr by ripken204
