Your choices are limited, then.
Some 865 boards work with C2D; on the AMD side, there's S939.
However, you won't get this level of integrated graphics from either...

i wish it had at least 2 (but 3 would be ideal) PCI slots

That would already be ATX - so many PCI slots with PCI-e alongside wouldn't
in the mATX standard size. But an ATX version would be nice, I agree.

Is $110-120 good or bad? I guess it will depend on results.

xpress 1200? or 1250

i got one today but the onboard graphics state that its a 1200 and not the 1250? its not even as good as my old 9700 pro, unplayable at 1024 x 768, slide show in san andreas even without AA. My CPU is a Pentium D @ 2 x 3.2ghz with 2gb OCZ 800mhz.

Whats wrong am i missing somthing?

Would you consider Intel E6400 to be in the Intel E6000-series?

So can you overclock the onboard x700 graphics much? Seriously though, you weren't planning on gaming without a real graphics card right?

It's an integrated gfx-core, nowhere in the history of mankind has this been the ideal solution for advanced 3d-graphics.

i just wanted it to be on par with a 6600gt, because ive only got a 15" screen and my 6600gt is AGP so its going on Ebay. I thought a x700 was only just short of a 6600gt in terms of perfomance! oh well ill just have to get the X2900 GTO when its out next month.

Onboard is helped greatly by a better processor, due to it’s suckage. Get a C2D. e4300 @ 9 x 360 = 3.24GHz and about double your current CPU performance.

im very poor and cant efford heating in my house so i use the Pentium D to keep my bedroom warm. if i got a core 2 it would be freezing!

LOL! I don’t know man, my e6400 keeps my room plenty toasty! That’s why you overclock. ;)

So it is your firm belief that CPU household heating is a good bang for the buck?

not fully worked out if its cheaper to heat the house with gas and get a core 2 duo, or pay the extra electric and heat it with a smithfield 805 overclocked. I shall post a graph soon, so we can all consider if the old netbust tech does have some plus points in the winter.
Maybe i should buy two cpus and 805 for winter and a e4400 for summer. i could run the use the 805 at 10ghz to heat all the radiators in my house in the winter. just need a big pump and a CPU water block. Do you think im onto something. Could this be the answer to global warming?

pvhk: can you tell me how you open Abit bios files with modbin?
I always get the same error, "not compressed award binary code!!".
03-07-2007, 12:59 PM

you must use modbin6 v2.0

Ok, works. First i used modbin6 2.0beta, but didn't work.
Now i use modbin6 2.01.01, and this works.
