if possible look out for 7050pv from biostar..gigabyte mobo is good...but if u r a gamer..then go for biostar..it has shader model 3.0 support..gigabyte doesnt..so few of the games may not run on it.biostar shud cost u approx 3.8k..and gigabyte s2h shud b around 4.1k..ijsa said:congrats for the new machine.
I am also looking forward for a new AMD machine for home use.
AMD X2 4000+ 65nm
GIGABYTE GA-MA69GM-S2H
hoping it is a good board with OCing
Motherboards with AMD Chipsets
2x1GB DDR2 800
i hope this is a good combo for home use surfing/music/video etc & little bit of gaming.
i look forward to your comments/ suggestions.
usually 7050 is not in stock...if not available...u can for the gigabyte s2h..it has good oc options...think..if u add a thousand more...u will get 8400gs/for approx 200 more u will get a 7100gs card..mobo will b a 690v based one..gigabyte...msi based 690v is approx 100 cheaper..but gigabyte produces some good mobos.and both these mobos lack oc options..with bios updates u can oc ..but no voltage adjustments available...so stability issues may arise...with no OC ...good mobos these.
