The subject line pretty much explains my dilemma really. I need a socket A mobo with onboard graphics thats going to be v stable at standard settings (ie no OC planned).
Thanks in advance,

Abit NF7-M?
I had an MSI K7N2G-ILSR for a while, it was stable with the right RAM ... it doesn't like TwinMOS, Generic, Corsair etc. you need basically WinBond or Buffalo!
I would guess this is for a server project, hence the stablilty?
If so I would seriously concider an Intel based system (Xeon ideally) ... would offer more stablilty for that kind of thing!
nope, not a server, but a pc for my brother. no gaming, so i was heading for onboard gfx.
Just get a good board and a Radeon 7500 or something.
I was thinking that ... and it works out cheaper!Quote:

abit nf7? whats the difference between the nf7 and the nf7-s?
The NF7 http://web6.scan.co.uk/Products/Info.asp?WPID=51444
The NF7-S http://web6.scan.co.uk/Products/Info.asp?WPID=60318
Basicly the NF7-S is the deluxe version, with all the extras like SATA RAID, Dual DDR Controllers, and Firewire ports
Heh, I was going to ask what minimum spec you wanted? I'm in the process (see my posted thread) of getting a nice new PC and will be stripping my GeForce FX 5600 off of my old beast to sell seperately.
It's a ASUS A7N266-E nForce mobo (32Mb GeForce MX???) with 2x512MB PC2100 and an AMD Athlon XP 1700+.
Is that the sort of thing you are looking for?
An NF7-M is under £60 incl. VAT (£58 @Scan, £56 at Dabs) - hard to buy a decent board & an AGP card cheaper than that surely?Quote:
