I'm looking to build a good el cheapo system, and I was quite enamored this mainboard, reviewed here in March. However, in the review it says there's a DVI port, yet on the Leadtek homepage it only mentions VGA. Is there a cable adapter included or did I miss something?

Well in some ways it would have made sense to give a DVI port and include a DVI-to-CRT convertor instead of just the std CRT but then most people only need/want CRT and it would have added around £5 to the mobo I guess. nForce2 IGP should be designed to take an add-in card which gives you TVout and presumably DVI too, just like you find on most GF4MX. I doubt many ever bundled these in though, and bundles often change from what reviewers get their hands on.
All is not lost though as a lot can change in 8 months. The onboard gfx are only good for very basic gaming so really there for std Windows stuff. You'd get a much better mobo by opting for a mobo without IGP and adding in your own gfx card which will easily fulfill your DVI requirement. You could then easily get a mobo certified to 400FSB and with MCPT/Soundstorm too. What do you want out of your new PC and hence a new mobo?
