Need a Mobo Opinion

Hey guys,

I just bought a year-old eMachines with a burnt out motherboard from my neighbor (for only $40, including DVD burner!). It has a socket A Athlon XP 2800+. I would like your guys' opinion on this motherboard for that CPU. I can get it for around $65 shipped on eBay. I've never had to replace the mobo from a retail PC, but I'm looking at that one since it has onboard graphics and the option for AGP and SATA. The user of this machine will be my younger sister (so no big gaming stuff). What do you guys think of this mobo? Also, do any of you know what you can crank the onboard video up to? (I know its shared memory, but I couldn't find what you can set it to in the bios).

Thanks guys,

Its a VIA mobo; aka less performance for the same price as an Nforce mobo.

 

Any other recommendations for a mobo? I just need one with (preferably) onboard graphics and support for the 2800+...any suggestions?

 

How about this one? It has nForce 2 and integrated graphics.

 

Okay, I think I found the one I want...I was looking for an Asus with IGP and nForce, and I found one...http://www.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=A7N8X-VM/400&langs=01

I'm planning on getting that one if no one has any other advice.

 

bad link on the asus...

 

Really? Did you copy and paste or did you click the link?....I clicked it and it works just fine.
