The board recommended above is good enough in Low-Mid segment as it just has 64 Mb of sideport memory that to DDR2.
Though, It wont matter to you if you are planning to buy a dedicated graphics card. It is also missing a esata port.
If you want a high end board with all bells and whistles and 128 MB of DDR3 sideport mem go for MSI DKA 790GX platinum @ 9.5K. Great stable board.:hap2:. Though its nearly double in price in comparison to Biostar 790GXB
There is another board Biostar 790GX 128M which has 128MB of DDR2 sideport mem. Its near to 5.5K.
And ofcourse another option is Jetway HA07 and DarkStar is the brand ambassador of this board (kidding, I hope u dont mind darkyhyeah: )> You can ask him for further details.
Dark Star said:Stay away from Jetway .. even ultra They don't support booting from USB and since floppy are outdated uyou will have problem updating BIOS.. either get a RW CD
Apart from that the NB gets too hot. So if you plan to OC that crap NB will make the IGP so hot that you will get corrupted graphics if you are going to depend on the Integrated graphics .. if you are opting for dedicated then get the HA07 Ultra from KMD should cost you 5.5 k[considering increased $ price ] ..
Else would say get a good branded mobo from Asus, MSI or Gigabyte
Dark Star said:^^Try the HA07 Ultra. That might be a cheap solution.. I hope it doesn't have heating issue like Ha07 and HA07 GT
