Asus M2N-VM versus M3N-H?

    I'm looking to build a new PC, settled on an Athlon X2 6000+ but stuck on which motherboard to choose. I want one with an HDMI socket and onboard graphics good enough to play HD content (as I'm not going to upgrade my old 7900GS for a bit), but can't choose between the Asus M2N-VM at around £40 and the M3N-H at around £60. The M2N looks good enough - any thoughts on whether it's worth the extra for the M3N?

    Thanks.

    Thanks akhilles! Since the Asus website has different pages for the M2N-VM DVI and M2N-VM HDMI I thought it would have HDMI output.

    The gigabyte board looks really good, but in the UK it's the same price as the M3N-H. Is there any advantage for the Gigabyte one (I tend to get nvidia graphics cards so using hybrid SLI on the Asus t some point is quite attractive)?
