Best person to ask is ddp. He uses them quite frequently for customers computers. Mostly office use. Personally I have been seeing on some other forumns on google about issues where they are not the best o/c board or stability issues. I believe they are the same cost as the board in in my sig that I currently use. So you may want to to take a look. The epox seem good at o/c and are very stable. Bios updates every month or twice a month. Another alternative is asus, but they would be twice the money. So ya should be alright, but there are better boards if ya want a gaming machine. Which it seems ya building. Btw...if ya need any cd rom's, floppies, or whatever. Pm me. I just ordered a decent size lot of them. :>

well in any case i need a board that has some onboard graphics as im not buying a PCI-E card straight away (due to budget restrictions)
im not really going to be doing any overclocking (even though ive seen some very good results for the athlon 3200)

I was gonna recommend the ASRock 939 Dual SATA2 but seeing as you want onboard graphics I guess that's off the list, unless you have an AGP card at the mo, cos the board can take AGP AND PCI-E, so consider that if you already got an AGP/ PCI-E graphics card and don't mind putting on that instead. BTW Ozzy where did you read the newegg ship internationally now? I'm interested but I read on their FAQ page that they don't :(

Newegg.com does not currently ship internationally; we only deliver to locations within the United States and to Puerto Rico.

All-in-all, the NVIDIA 6100 is a decent integrated graphics solution and the new performance leader in AMD integrated graphics. It would have been even better if NVIDIA had made it 4 pixel pipelines instead of two, but the performance and options at the higher end does make the NVIDIA first choice among AMD integrated graphics solutions - at least until the next round from ATI.
Well I guess the Biostar is pretty good, you might aswell go for it then, what's the cheapest you've seen it for?
