Hey guys need a motherboard with integrated graphics as im gettin a graphics card only in april so need integrated graphics till then. which is the best one to go for and what is the price and avialabiltiy in blore. thanks
 
My vote goes for the Krypton (Biostar) too because of its great overclocking and its low cost. Just a BIOS flash needed though :)

now here's another question, which one among the radeon x200 (on MSI-RS-480) And the 6100-6150 boards discussed above is a better choice for gaming.....i know neither are great choices for the games coming out ,but the reviews i saw on anandtech had confused me as the MSI board has higher 3Dmark scores but lower real world results (fps's in actual games.)
 
The 6100 beats the RS482 in most games, and the 6150 performs slightly better. also the 61xx is SM 3.0 compliant, tho it dosent matter really since u wont be using sm3 at this level of performance. U also have much better USB performance with the 410/430 southbridges rather than ati's SB450/460. plus i guess since the 6100/6150 are built on a 90 nm process while the rs482 is 110nm it should be a little cooler.
 
heard ppls sayin 6150 got data corruption issue y dont u get A8N-E and a rs 300 S3 video card :) then update when u need it.
 
^^ there is no data corruption ..... how many times it is said here and u guys keep on repeating that ..... it was issue wit maxtor drives which is resolved
 
My initial choice was the A8N-E, and now ive decided to stick with it. The A8N-VM is 4.5k but the features are just average and OC'ing options are crap. The A8N-VM CSM is almost 6k and not worth it at all, so id rather go for the A8N-E. while its nowhere as good as say DFI in OC'ing, its pretty good and also rock solid. Im buying a 6200 TC for temporary use until i get a new graphics card in april.
 
for absolute vfm i think the BIOSTAR Tforce 610-939 is the best board available .. good perfomance and decent overclocking features and at an amazingly low price of 3.8k . just great for people who dont wanna spend on a gpu .. if u r buying a separate gpu then A8N-E is a good choice.

I considered that board as well, its not available in blore. only the M-9 version is. but im still not buying till 17th march ( bday present :P ) so if anyone comes across the t-force by then plz let me know, u'll save me 2.5k for a 6200 TC. one more issue that just occured to me is that all the 6150/6100 boards are uATX. do u guys think its better goin for a full size ATX board or uATX? and then what abt the cabinet, can i put a uATX board in an ATX case?
 
obviously u can .. uatx is smaller than atx so it will definitely fit in an atx case and its up to u to decide to go for uatx or atx .. if u want more expansion slots then go for atx .. if u r content with the number of slots ns tuff of the uatx then go with it.
 
The M-9 version is the same except for a few differences like reset/power ON switches on the board. And the BIOS reloaded and some premium stuff like that.

There are people who have crossflashed the TForce BIOS on the M9 and achieved very good results. I dont think there is any other differences. The graphics cards are the same too!! And im certain that the money saved is worth it.

If you are afraid to crossflash it then, maybe a member can do it for you.

Btw where are you getting the board for 3.8k?? The last i saw for about 4.4k or so....

MSIK8NGM2-IL(6100/410) - Rs.4300-4500, & FID(6150/430)-Abt 5800 are good boards too..but the latter is rarely availble...
 
Recommended GeForce 6100 based boards:
MSI K8NGM2-IL (available)
FOXCONN 6100K8MA (available)

Recommended GeForce 6150 based boards:
MSI K8NGM2-FID (availibility might be a problem)
FOXCONN 6150K8MA (availibility might be a problem)

I feel that MSI and FOXCONN Boards are becoming more reliable as compared to the ASUS or Gigabyte Boards. Recent ASUS Boards are having BIOS problems and have difficulty in recognising the Venice Core, Gigabyte as usual do not deliver the performance. Both of the FOXCONN Boards are recommended in the AMD (Recommended Motherboards Section) and also they offer decent overclocking options.
